Commentary for Berakhot 111:18
אמר מאי אעביד גמירי דקללת חכם אפילו בחנם היא באה וכ"ש רבא דבדינא קא לייט אמר איקום ואגלי דאמר מר גלות מכפרת עון
Bar Hedja said, "What can I do ? There is a tradition that the curse of a wise man, even when undeserved, comes to pass ; and how much more so that of Raba who has justification for uttering a curse!" He said [to himself] "I will go into exile; for a teacher has said, 'Exile atones for sins'."
