עַל־הָרַ֤ע כַּפַּ֙יִם֙ לְהֵיטִ֔יב הַשַּׂ֣ר שֹׁאֵ֔ל וְהַשֹּׁפֵ֖ט בַּשִׁלּ֑וּם וְהַגָּד֗וֹל דֹּבֵ֨ר הַוַּ֥ת נַפְשׁ֛וֹ ה֖וּא וַֽיְעַבְּתֽוּהָ׃
Atas kejahatan tangan mereka, mereka mengharapkan kebaikan; sang pembesar meminta suap, dan sang hakim menghakimi demi balas jasa, dan orang besar itu mengucapkan hasrat jiwanya, lalu mereka menjalinnya bersama-sama.
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it is written48Gen. 2:6.: and distress49He identifies אֵד “fog” and אֵיד “dies ater”. In Gen. rabba13(15) the entire paragraph is attributed to R. Berekhiah. rose from the earth. If rupture rises from the earth, rain will fall immediately. Rebbi Berekhiah said, it is written50Deut. 32:2.: may my teaching drip like rain, because if one confesses in repentance51The homily identifies ערף “to drip” (Accadic arapu“to be cloudy”) with another root ערף (Arabic ערף “to know”, אעתרף “to confess”.) rain will fall immediately. Rebbi Berekhiah made thirteen fast days but no rain fell; at the end locusts came. He went and said before them, our brethren, look at what we are doing. Is that not what the prophet needles us52Micah7:3–4., from evil hands to profit, we damage one another with our hands and expect good things; the noble asks where is the bribe to be collected, and the judge in payment, pay me and I shall pay you, the great one speaks lies from his soul and they will distort it, they will turn it thick, they turned it into a plaiting of debts. And who can stop it? Their best one is like thorns, the best one among them is like thorns, the straight one like a hedge of thorns, the most upright among them is like those branches, on the day to which they looked comes their due, on the day which we expected relief locusts, this shall be their consternation! From the midst of their crying, and crying, and crying, there fell rain.
