gewalt

A German word for which we have no English equivalent. Sheer might and force in brutal execution. However it is far above force and far above might. There is no greater single force of energy. Without temperance, it can cause extreme violence and degradation.

Gewalt is unbridled force, neutral in charge, but capable of being transformed into positive or negative energy when applied with Teperance

oy gevalt

Like most Yiddish expressions, this is Mediaeval Low German. In Modern German it would be spelled "Ach! Gewalt!" Gewalt is a word that means strength or force, But in this context means "violence".

I see others referring to the Yiddish expression "oy vay zmir". Again, in Modern German, "Ach! Weh ist mir!", literally, "oh, woe is unto me!" In all 3 cases, the pronoun is in the Dative case, which usage has long since vanished in English, except in antique sayings such as this.
