BM 59a (also Tanchuma Noach 4):
Amar Rav Avohu
3 devarim ein hapargod nin'al bifneihem:
ona'ah
vegezel
vaA"Z
Ona'ah, dikhsiv:
"Hinei H' nitzav al chomas anakh
uvYado anakh." (Amos 7:7)
Gezeilah, dikhsiv...
(I had to look up "anakh". It's a plumbline.)
I'm wondering. If HQBH won't stop looking (especially) at someone's
"geneivishe shtick", why does R' Avohu need to mention actual gezeilah,
never mind prove it from a separate pasuq?
And would R' Avohu say this means "teshuvah tefillah utzedaqah" about
everything else in someone's year won't amount to a hill of beans if
he didn't do something about these three aveiros in particular? That's
what I would take away from being told they're not ignorable.
Tir'u baTov!
