Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 18:5: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

שְׂאֵ֣ת פְּנֵי־רָשָׁ֣ע לֹא־ט֑וֹב לְהַטּ֥וֹת צַ֝דִּ֗יק בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃

Prendre parti pour le méchant, évincer le juste de ses droits, est bien mal agir.

Rashi on Proverbs

It is not good to be partial to the wicked As our Sages explained: It is not good for the wicked, that they are favored in this world and are requited in the next world.

Rashi on Proverbs

to subvert the righteous in judgment It is good for the righteous that the scale is weighed down for them to make them guilty in this world, where they are requited during their lifetime, and they merit the world to come. Its simple meaning, however, is according to its apparent meaning.
