Isaías 5:20 Cabalá: Sha'arei Kedusha

Our sages, of blessed memory, stated,⁶¹¹Talmud Bavli, Pesachim 113b “The Holy One, blessed is He, hates three types of people: One who says one thing with his mouth but thinks another in his heart etc.” Similarly, our sages, of blessed memory, stated,⁶¹²Talmud Bavli, Sotah 41b “Any person who has flattery in him falls into purgatory (Gehinnom), as written,⁶¹³Isaiah 5:20 ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,’ the continuation of which states,⁶¹⁴Isaiah 5:24 ‘Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours straw, and as chaff is consumed by the flame, so will their root become rot and their flower will be blown away like dust etc.’”
