What does the Bible say about sin and suffering?

In the book of Job, we see that Eliaphaz's view illustrates a common belief: that suffering corresponds to sinfulness. He claims that Job's afflictions ensure his guilt, reinforcing the notion that trouble must originate from human sinfulness. However, it is essential to understand that while sin produces misery, all suffering is under the sovereign decree of God. The Bible underscores that 'man is born under trouble' (Job 5:7), and trouble does not spring from mere chance but is part of God's divine providence and plan.
