Rashi, on Lam 3:34

“Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,”

“[Or] crush under His feet This refers back to, “For He does not willingly afflict to crush under His feet, etc., or pervert the righteous judgment of a man, or distort a man’s dispute, etc.” All these the Lord did not approve. He did not approve of them, and it did not enter His thoughts to do so.”
