Who are "Chanfei Lev"?

1.

Rashi: Resha'im.

2.

Malbim: They are not total Tzadikim. Their heart is unlike their outside - it is full of flattery and forgery. At a time or wealth, they served only amidst hope of reward, for they had all good.

2)

What do we learn from "Yasimu Af"?

1.

Sotah 41b: From the day that flattery became rampant, judgments became distorted, deeds became spoiled, and no one can say 'my deeds are greater than yours.' A flatterer brings Af (anger) to the world. Ibn Ezra - this is like "Yasim 1 ".

2.

Rashi: When afflictions come, they blaspheme.

3.

Malbim: [When afflictions come,] they complain about His Midos and conduct, like Iyov did.


1

Perhaps he refers to "Ad Yasim ba'Aretz Mishpat" (Yeshayah 42:4). (PF)

3)

Why does it say "Lo Yeshav'u Ki Asaram"?

1.

Rashi: They do not supplicate to Hashem when He afflicts them. Therefore, He does not heal them!

2.

Orchos Tzadikim Sha'ar ha'Chanifus DH Amar: A flatterer's Tefilah is not heard.

3.

Malbim: They do not supplicate to Hashem to relieve their poverty. Just the contrary, they get angry at Him!
