תּוספֿתּא אויף משלי 25:17

הֹקַ֣ר רַ֭גְלְךָ מִבֵּ֣ית רֵעֶ֑ךָ פֶּן־יִ֝שְׂבָּעֲךָ֗ וּשְׂנֵאֶֽךָ׃

מאַך דײַן פֿוס זעלטן אין הױז פֿון דײַן חבֿר, כּדי ער זאָל ניט זאַט װערן מיט דיר, און דיך פֿײַנט קריגן.

Tosefta Yoma

They publicize one who profanes [God's name] because this is a desecration of the Name, as it is said (Ez. 3:20), "And if a righteous man abandons his righteousness and does wrong, when I put a stumbling block before him, he shall die." Thus, it is publicized. Rabbi Yosei says, if a man sins once, twice, or three times, they pardon him. Four -- they do not pardon him, as it is said (Ex. 24:7), "forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin, and cleansing." Until that point, he is cleansed, from that point forward, he is not cleansed, as it is said (Amos 2:3), "For three transgressions of Israel, [(but) for four, I will not revoke it]." And it says (Job 33:29), "Truly, God does all these things, two or three times [to a man]." And it says (Prov. 25:17), "Visit your neighbor sparingly, etc."
