Musar for Sanhedrin 162:2
<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> מי שלקה ושנה ב"ד מכניסין אותו לכיפה ומאכילין אותו שעורין עד שכריסו מתבקעת:
<b><i>MISHNAH</i></b>. HE WHO WAS TWICE FLAGELLATED [FOR TWO TRANSGRESSIONS, AND THEN SINNED AGAIN,] IS PLACED BY <i>BETH DIN</i> IN A CELL AND FED WITH BARLEY BREAD, UNTIL HIS STOMACH BURSTS.
Orchot Tzadikim
One ought to be zealous against sinners and the wicked, to strive with them and to rebuke them. As our Sages said : "A man who cohabitates with a heathen woman, the zealous ones should smite him" (Sanhedrin 81b).
