7. The Holy One, blessed be He, favors those that bless Him, and His passion is for the blessing that is below. That blessing rises and lights up the non-shining candle, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and strengthens it with a strong force to rise above, TO UNITE WITH ZEIR ANPIN. About this secret, it is written: "those who give Me honor, I will honor" (I Shmuel 1:30). This verse refers to those who give blessings to the Holy One, blessed be He. .".and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed" (Ibid.) refers to those who do not bless the Holy One, blessed be He, and withhold any blessings from their mouths.
7. וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִתְרְעֵי בְּהוּ, בְּאִינּוּן דִּמְבָרְכִין לֵיהּ, וְתִיאוּבְתֵיהּ בְּבִרְכָתָא דִּלְתַּתָּא, דְּהַהִיא בִּרְכָתָא סַלְּקָא, וְאַנְהִיר בּוּצִינָא דְּלָא נָהִיר, וְאַתְקִיף לָהּ בְּתּוּקְפָּא תַּקִּיפָא, לְסַלְּקָא לְעֵילָּא. וְעַל רָזָא דָּא כְּתִיב, כִּי מְכַבְּדַי אֲכַבֵּד, אִלֵּין אִינּוּן דִּמְבָרְכִין לֵיהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא. וּבוֹזַי יֵקָלּוּ, אִלֵּין אִינּוּן דְּלָא מְבָרְכִין לֵיהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, וּמַנְעִין בִּרְכָתָא מִפּוּמַיְיהוּ.
