Rashi, on Prov 16:4
Rashi · 1040–1105
Prov 16:4 · Douay-Rheims
“The Lord hath made all things for himself: the wicked also for the evil day.”
On this verse:
“The Lord made everything for His praise Heb. למענהו. He made everything for His praise, as in (Ps. 147:7): “Praise (ענו) the Lord with thanksgiving.” Another explanation: To testify concerning Him. That is to say that His work testifies concerning Him, about His mighty acts. Both are in the Aggadah of Psalms (Midrash Tehillim 19:1). even the wicked man He made, to leave him for the day of evil. All this is for His praise.”
