ועל שהיה ספק בידם למחות ולא מיחו, ועל שפוסקים צדקה ברבים ואינן נותנין.
and on account of those who had the ability to reprimand sinners and did not reprimand them; and on account of those who issued a commitment to give charity in public and ultimately do not give the charity to which they committed.
אמר רב: בשביל ארבעה דברים נכסי בעלי בתים יוצאין לטמיון: על כובשי שכר שכיר, ועל עושקי שכר שכיר, ועל שפורקין עול מעל צואריהן ונותנין על חבריהן, ועל גסות הרוח. וגסות הרוח — כנגד כולן. אבל בענוים כתיב: ״וענוים יירשו ארץ והתענגו על רב שלום״.
Rav said: On account of 4 matters the property of homeowners is confiscated by the state treasury [timyon]: On account of those who delay payment of the salary of hired laborers (see Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:15); on account of those who withhold the salary of hired laborers and do not pay at all; and on account of those who throw off the yoke of communal responsibility from their own necks and place that yoke on the necks of their friends; and on account of the arrogance of those who, due to their wealth, exercise power over the community. And the punishment for arrogance is equal to them all. However, with regard to the humble it is written: “The humble will inherit the land and delight themselves in the abundance of peace” (Psalms 37:11).
