Commentary for Lamentations 3:33

כִּ֣י לֹ֤א עִנָּה֙ מִלִּבּ֔וֹ וַיַּגֶּ֖ה בְנֵי־אִֽישׁ׃ (ס)

For He doth not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.

Rashi on Lamentations

For He does not torment willfully nor cause men grief. From His heart and from His will;27Alternatively, if man does not humble himself from haughtiness, God will cause him grief. (Targum) rather the sin causes [the grief].
