כִּ֣י אִם־הוֹגָ֔ה וְרִחַ֖ם כְּרֹ֥ב חסדו [חֲסָדָֽיו׃]
mais quand il a frappé, il exerce sa pitié selon l’étendue de sa bonté.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“However” [3:32]. However, when the person brings mourning upon himself because of his sins, the Holy One similarly has pity with his great mercies.
Rashi
Rather should he [man] cause grief. If man brings grief upon himself because of his sin[s], afterwards, He will yet have compassion in accordance with His immense grace.26Alternatively, ‘He first afflicts, then pities according to His abundant kindness.’ (Targum)
Rashi
Cause grief ... Cause grief. [Both words] are expressions of grief.
