Mishnah for Berakhot 14:25
בתחלה לענותו ולבסוף לכלותו:
The answer is: At first "to afflict them" and finally "exterminate them."
Pirkei Avot
Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar said: Do not try to appease your friend during his hour of anger; Nor comfort him at the hour while his dead still lies before him; Nor question him at the hour of his vow; Nor strive to see him in the hour of his disgrace.
