Commentaire sur Jérémie 5:28
שָׁמְנ֣וּ עָשְׁת֗וּ גַּ֚ם עָֽבְר֣וּ דִבְרֵי־רָ֔ע דִּ֣ין לֹא־דָ֔נוּ דִּ֥ין יָת֖וֹם וְיַצְלִ֑יחוּ וּמִשְׁפַּ֥ט אֶבְיוֹנִ֖ים לֹ֥א שָׁפָֽטוּ׃
Ils sont gras, reluisants: ne dépassent-ils pas toute mesure dans le mal? Ils ne rendent pas justice, justice à l’orphelin, et ils prospèrent! La cause des pauvres, ils ne la font pas triompher.
Rashi on Jeremiah
