Commentaire de citation sur Les Lamentations 3:22

חַֽסְדֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ כִּ֣י לֹא־תָ֔מְנוּ כִּ֥י לֹא־כָל֖וּ רַחֲמָֽיו׃

C’est que les bontés de l’Éternel ne sont pas taries et que sa miséricorde n’est pas épuisée.

That a person does. . . Question: Why does Rashi write ונוצר חסד , from 34:7, when here it is written ועושה חסד ? The answer is: So we will not mistakenly think that ועושה חסד refers to Hashem. I.e., that Hashem does lovingkindness for two thousand generations, but no more. [This is not so,] for it is written: “Hashem’s kindness is never-ending, His mercy does not cease” (Eichah 3:22). Thus Rashi brings the verse of ונוצר חסד , which means: when a person does loving-kindness, Hashem stores reward for him for two thousand generations. And so too, the verse of ועושה חסד refers to the person, [not to Hashem]. It means: when a person does loving-kindness, Hashem rewards until two thousand generations.
