Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak

Duties of the Heart: Humility

The story is told of a king before whom a man was sentenced, and a whip was brought for punishment. The king said to the man, “As HaShem lives, were it not it not for my great anger with you, I would have taken strict revenge against anger with you, I would have taken strict revenge against you.” And then he pardoned him. [That is, precisely because the King grew angry did he decide not to discipline the man; for he did not think it proper to satisfy anger.] It is related further of him that he used to say, “I know of no offense heavy enough to outweigh my meekness.”
