This is similar to what the Bible says: “Because sentence against a bad work has not been executed speedily, that is why the heart of the sons of men has become fully set in them to do bad. ” ​ — Ecclesiastes 8: 11.
See on nõnda, nagu ütleb Piibel: „Kui otsust kuriteo kohta kiiresti ei tehta, siis kasvab inimlaste julgus kurja teha! ”.
