<div>Tzavo'as R Eliezer HaGodol, "stanza" 17. It's the longer/fuller version of R' Eliezer being visited by his students on his death bed as related in Brachos 28b and in slighly more detail in Sanhedrin 101a. </div>

<div>17. My son, do not sit among groups which speak bad (Genai) about their friends and [with] Ba'aley Lashon Hara, for all the words go up and are written in a book, and all those present are recorded in a Chaburas LH.</div>
