Reply To: Dvar Torah Acharei Mos – Preaching Without Practicing

abukspan, look at the Alshich Hakadosh on Rus that this is related to the famine which happened as the bad judges contributed to it. צדק צדק תרדוף למען תחיה – כדאי הוא מינוי הדיינים הכשרים להחיות את ישראל ולהושיבם על אדמתם so we see that the proper behavior of judges provides sustainance and the zechus to stay on the land.
