("If all the wise men of Israel were in the hands of a balance, and Eliezer the son of Hyrcanus in the hands of a second, he would overwhelm them all" - Avot 2:8, and so: "If all our national sins were given in the hands of one man, and the sin of the tongue in the hands against it - he would overwhelm them all. It is a criminal sin, for which there is no expiation" - Bialik/ on "Wisdom" Israel")
