Musar for Berakhot 111:6
אקרינן (דברים כח, לח) זרע רב תוציא השדה לאביי א"ל מרישיה לרבא א"ל מסיפיה
We were made to read the words "Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in for the locust will consume it" (Deut. xxviii. 38). To Abbai he gave an interpretation from the first half of the verse ; to Raba from the latter half.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
לא תקלל חרש . One must not curse any Jew, not even someone who cannot hear the curse (19,14). The reason is that we know that the power of the curse or blessing is not confined to it being actually pronounced i.e. capable of being heard.
