125. There is a man who is fit for curses to occur through him. Wherever he looks, there would be curses, anathemas and confusions. For example, Bilaam was called evil-eyed, as he was ready for every evil but not prepared for good. Even when he blessed, his blessing was no blessing and it was not fulfilled. But when he cursed, it prevailed; even in one instance IT WOULD COME TO BE. Therefore, it is written, "Whose eyes are open," (Bemidbar 24:3). Every place his eye had seen was cursed.
125. וְאִית ב"נ דְּהוּא זַמִּין לְאִתְקַיְּימָא לְוָוטִין עַל יְדֵיהּ, וּבְכָל מַה דְּיַשְׁגַח לֵיתֵי לְוָוטַיָיא וּמְאֵרָה וּבְעִיתָא כְּגוֹן בִּלְעָם, דְּאִקְרֵי רַע עַיִן, דַּהֲוָה זַמִּין בְּכָל בִּישׁ, וְלָא הֲוָה זַמִּין לְטָב. וְאַף עַל גַּב דִבְרָךְ, בִּרְכָתֵיהּ לָא בִּרְכָתָא, וְלָא אִתְקְיָּים. וְכַד הֲוָה לָיִיט, כָּל מַאן דְּלָיִיט אִתְקְיָּים, וְאַפִילּוּ בְּרִגְעָא חֲדָא, וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, שְׁתֻם הָעָיִן. בְּכָל אֲתַר דְּעֵינֵיהּ שַׁלְטָא אִתְלַטְּיָיא.
