הזהירנו מלקלל הדיין. והוא אמרו אלהים לא תקלל. והעובר על לאו זה לוקה. (ואלה המשפטים, הלכות סנהדרין פרק כ"ו):

**Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf:**
He prohibited us from cursing a judge. And that is His saying, "You shall not curse the powers" (Exodus 22:27). And one who transgresses this negative commandment is lashed. (See Parashat Mishpatim; Mishneh Torah, The Sanhedrin and the Penalties within their Jurisdiction 26.)
