**עַל שִׁגְיֹנוֹת.** יֵשׁ פּוֹתְרוֹ כְּתַרְגּוּמוֹ, וּלְפִי מַשְׁמָעוֹ בִּקֵּשׁ רַחֲמִים עַל עַצְמוֹ שֶׁהִטִּיחַ דְּבָרִים, כְּמוֹ (חבקוק א:ד) ״עַל כֵּן תָּפוּג תּוֹרָה״, ״וַתַּעֲשֶׂה אָדָם כִּדְגֵי הַיָּם״. קִנְתֵּר אַחַר מִדַּת הַדִּין.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**concerning the errors** This may be interpreted according to the *Targum*. However, according to the apparent meaning, Habakkuk is begging for mercy for himself because he spoke rebelliously: (1: 4) “Therefore Torah is slackened,” and (verse 14) “You have made man like the fish of the sea.” He criticized the Divine standard of justice.
