I heard from my masters, that if an angel were to stand in the presence of a gathering of ten Jews... such a boundless and infinite terror and dread would then befall him on account of the Divine Presence that abides over them, that he would become utterly nullified.
  –Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (Tanya IV:23)
