전도서 8:11의 주석
אֲשֶׁר֙ אֵין־נַעֲשָׂ֣ה פִתְגָ֔ם מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ה מְהֵרָ֑ה עַל־כֵּ֡ן מָלֵ֞א לֵ֧ב בְּֽנֵי־הָאָדָ֛ם בָּהֶ֖ם לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת רָֽע׃
악한 일에 징벌이 속히 실행되지 않으므로 인생들이 악을 행하기에 마음이 담대하도다
Rashi on Ecclesiastes
Because the execution of sentence. Punishment for the evil deeds [is not done] quickly. For the Holy One, Blessed Is He, does not rush to mete out retribution upon the evildoers, and therefore, they think that there is no judgment, and they are encouraged to do evil.

Kohelet Rabbah
“Because a sentence for an evil deed is not executed swiftly, therefore the heart of the sons of man dares to do evil” (Ecclesiastes 8:11).
“Because a sentence…is not executed” – because a person sins and the attribute of justice does not afflict him, “therefore [the heart of the sons of man] dares” – what do they say? The arrogant ones enter, the arrogant ones exit, and they pay no price.
