잠언 15:4의 Chasidut

So it is that Blessed God does not speak evil about Israel like the father does not speak [evil] about his son; so we find that when a person speaks evil he presents himself as someone who deny that his words are Heavenly Sovereignty, the Attribute of ADONAI-ness, and therefore he is like one who worships idolatry. And this is the statement of King David, peace be upon him, [May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks proud things!] Who have said: “Our tongue will we make mighty” (Psalm 12:5), which is to say that the wicked say “Let us make our tongues mighty to speak because our lips are ours, who is a Lord over us?” Which is to say they deny that the ADONAI-ness is in their mouths. But one must have faith that his speech is Heavenly Sovereignty; and this is the statement of [our Sages] of Blessed Memory, “Who rules over me? The tzaddik!” (Babylonian Talmud, Moed Katan 16b), which is to say “The tzaddik rules with me, with My speech, which is Heavenly Sovereignty, ruling over all the Worlds and all the Creations.” And how do we arrive at this faith? It is through engaging in the Torah, meaning when a person speaks words of Torah and connects his speech to the letters of the Torah, through that he brings about Heavenly Sovereignty. So it is that we find a disagreement in [Babylonian Talmud] Arakhin 15b, “One says that a person who told [evil speech] has no remedy, and one said he should engage in Torah as is stated, the Tree of Life heals the tongue (Proverbs 15:4).” And yet they certainly do not disagree, for this is a principle in all of Torah: “These and these are the words of the Living God” (Babylonian Talmud, Eruvin 14a), so too here when a person engages in Torah not for its own sake he has no remedy, but when he engages [in Torah] for its own sake and connects his speech to the letters of the Torah he thereby brings about Heavenly Sovereignty; and this is [the meaning of] the Tree of Life heals the tongue.
