לֹא־תֵלֵ֤ךְ רָכִיל֙ בְּעַמֶּ֔יךָ לֹ֥א תַעֲמֹ֖ד עַל־דַּ֣ם רֵעֶ֑ךָ אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃
너는 네 백성 중으로 돌아다니며 사람을 논단하지 말며 네 이웃을 대적하여 죽을 지경에 이르게 하지 말라 나는 여호와니라
Idra Zuta
Those whose path is crooked accept the words and swiftly take them in, that is, they cleave to the left column. There is no room in them to delay. For the central column that bestows through the gathering of the three columns, is delayed in every column; but the influence of the left column, when it rules alone, unconnected to any other column, is considered fast (as said in section 134). All the other orifices, that is, of the eyes and nose, open to it until the words come out through the orifice of the mouth, pouring it downward. Those are the wicked of the generation, hated by the Holy One, blessed be He, as said above. We have learned in our Mishna that he who reveals a secret is like a killer, an idol worshipper. Everything is understood from a single verse, as written, “You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people; neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor” (Vayikra 19:16), which is murder, “I am Hashem” (Ibid.). You should not worship idols. Whoever transgresses the beginning of the verse by telling evil gossip and revealing secrets, it is as if he transgresses everything, both murder and idol worship.
