ומכיוון שרודפי כבוד So yeah, so yesterday we spoke about the idea that people who are looking for honor, they're looking for honor and they see getting money as a way of having honor.
And we spoke about that mistake, that real honor is going to come from a person who's in line with HaKadosh Baruch Hu's will.
That's why we finished off with כי מכבדי אכבד, that people respect you when you have values, people respect you when you are living up to HaKadosh Baruch Hu's will, and they see that you're in line with HaKadosh Baruch Hu no matter what.
If you're rich and people are respecting you only because they're trying to take away part of your wealth, that's not real respect and you know that.
