זוֹרֵ֣עַ עַ֭וְלָה יקצור־[יִקְצָר־] אָ֑וֶן וְשֵׁ֖בֶט עֶבְרָת֣וֹ יִכְלֶֽה׃
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity; And the rod of his wrath shall fail.
Rashi on Proverbs
He who sows injustice will reap violence According to his sowing will be his reaping; according to his deed will be the reception of his reward.
Rashi on Proverbs
and the rod of his wrath will fail The rod of his ear of grain will fail more and more [interpreting עברתו as עבור, grain]. Some say: The rod of his wrath with which he rules over people will become progressively lessened because he impairs his ability.
