Mesorat%20hashas for Chagigah 8:6

רב הונא כי מטי להאי קרא יראה יראה בכי אמר עבד שרבו מצפה לו לראותו יתרחק ממנו דכתיב כי תבואו לראות פני מי בקש זאת מידכם רמוס חצרי

The Gemara relates that when Rav Huna reached this verse, which can be read as: “Will see” [yireh] and “shall appear” [yera’e], he cried. He said: Can it happen to a slave, (in other words Bnei Yisreal) whose master (in other words god) expects to see him, that the master will eventually distance himself from him and not want him anymore? As it is written: “When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts?” (Isaiah 1:12)
