צו אַ פֿאָלק װאָס דערצערנט מיך אין מײַן פּנים נאָכאַנאַנד; װאָס שלאַכטן אין די גערטנער, און רײַכערן אױף די ציגל;
Bava Metzia
Rabbi Abbahu said, "[Regarding] three [sins], the curtain [of mercy; which figuratively blocks G-d from punishing the evil] is not locked for them [and thus punishment can get through]: Fraudulent overcharging, robbery, and idol worship. Fraudulent overcharging, as it is written, 'And in his hand, a measuring line (Amos 7:7).' Robbery, as it is written, 'Violence and spoil shall be heard in [Jerusalem]- in front of me forever (Jeremiah 6:7).' Idol worship, as it is written, "The nation that is vexing me- in front of me forever, etc. (Isaiah 65:3).'"
