What does the Bible say about God's judgment upon sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts God's judgment as a response to human sin that ultimately brings about both affliction and salvation for His people.

In Isaiah 22, we see a clear portrayal of God's judgment upon Jerusalem, described as a 'burden of the valley of vision.' This chapter serves as a prophecy highlighting the woe and affliction that comes due to the people's sin. The consistent theme throughout the Book of Isaiah, and scripture as a whole, is that God's affliction is often a corrective measure intended for repentance and salvation. As seen in Isaiah 22:12-13, while the people indulge in revelry, God calls them to mourning and weeping over their sin, emphasizing that true repentance is necessary to avert judgment.
