Midrash sur Les Proverbes 11:21
יָ֣ד לְ֭יָד לֹא־יִנָּ֣קֶה רָּ֑ע וְזֶ֖רַע צַדִּיקִ֣ים נִמְלָֽט׃
Haut la main! Le méchant ne reste pas impuni, mais la race des justes échappe à tout danger.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
What is the meaning of (Pr. 11, 21) From hand being to hand, the bad man shall not go unpunished. (Fol. 5) Said R. Jochanan: "As a man who committed adultery, even though he gives charity in secret, concerning which it is written (Ib. 21, 14) A gift in secret passifies anger, and a bribe in bosom, strong fury, he will nevertheless not "be acquitted from the judgment of Gehenna."
