Not Fooling Oneself

Not Fooling Oneself:

Rav Hirsch of Rimanov zy”a states that since it is known that the letter “ayin” is interchangeable with the letter “aleph”, the pasuk can be read as saying that one should not turn away from “the emes”. In other words, one should not corrupt the truth. Rather, he should be truthful and honest.
My ancestor, Rav Meir’l of Kretchnif zy”a, added, “It is impossible to fool Hashem, and people won’t let you fool them. The only one you can fool (by corrupting the truth) is yourself!”
