욥기 29:17의 Musar
וָֽ֭אֲשַׁבְּרָה מְתַלְּע֣וֹת עַוָּ֑ל וּ֝מִשִּׁנָּ֗יו אַשְׁלִ֥יךְ טָֽרֶף׃
불의한 자의 어금니를 꺽고 그 잇사이에서 겁탈한 물건을 빼어 내었었느니라
Orchot Tzadikim
Until now we have told of the evils of cruelty, but there are places where it is necessary to conduct one's self with cruelty against the wicked, as Job said: "And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth" (Job 29:17), and as the Torah itself has commanded us to execute the wicked and to lash them. And thus did our rabbis say: "He who does not want to build a Sukkah, nor make fringes for his tallit… nor fix a Mezuzah on his doorpost deserves to be beaten within an inch of his life" (Ketuboth 86a). And all this requires cruelty of a sort — to pursue the wicked and to press heavily upon them in order to restore them to good conduct.
