Commentaire sur Habacuc 1:4
עַל־כֵּן֙ תָּפ֣וּג תּוֹרָ֔ה וְלֹֽא־יֵצֵ֥א לָנֶ֖צַח מִשְׁפָּ֑ט כִּ֤י רָשָׁע֙ מַכְתִּ֣יר אֶת־הַצַּדִּ֔יק עַל־כֵּ֛ן יֵצֵ֥א מִשְׁפָּ֖ט מְעֻקָּֽל׃
Aussi la loi est-elle paralysée et le droit ne se manifeste-t-il plus jamais. Oui, le méchant circonvient le juste, aussi ne rend-on que des sentences perverses.
Rashi on Habakkuk
