How do we know that God punishes those who despise Him?

Answered in 1 source

The punishment of those who despise God is exemplified by the fate of Eli's sons, who were struck down for their wickedness (1 Samuel 2:30-34).

The account of Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, serves as a sobering reminder that God punishes those who despise Him. Their heinous acts and lack of reverence for God's offerings led to dire consequences, as foretold by a man of God who declared their impending judgment. In 1 Samuel 2:34, it states that they would die on the same day and that God had sworn to cut off Eli's house due to their iniquity. This serves not only as a historical account but also as a theological truth reflecting God's holiness and justice against irreverence and sin.
