   Parashat Devarim: These are the Bees

The midrash notes the morphological similarity

 between the word 'devarim' (words) and devorim (bees).

The words of Torah can give joy and sweetness

to those who heed them (Psalm 19:10),

but they are a deadly poison to those who do not.

"Just as the honey of the bee is sweet

and its sting sharp,

so, too is the Torah".

Likewise, our words

can be used to build up,  edify & comfort others

or they can be used to tear down,  deliver poison, & cause pain.
