Difficult Words

Words of rebuke and reprimand. Words that are difficult to listen to.

("And this is the blessing that Moses blessed—according to what Moses said to Israel: 'Difficult words at the beginning' (Words of a heart like a pot, Kohelet): waters of famine and burning heat... He returned and said to them words of consolation: 'And this is the blessing that Moses blessed.' And from this all the prophets learned who spoke to Israel difficult words at first and then returned and said to them words of consolation" - Sifrei Devarim, Parashat VeZot HaBerachah, paragraph 48)
