What Scripture supports the idea that afflictions do not lead to repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah 1:5 and Amos 4 illustrate that physical and financial afflictions do not bring true repentance.

Scripture reveals through passages like Isaiah 1:5 and Amos 4 that afflictions, whether physical or financial, often do not lead to true repentance. In Isaiah, God questions why His people would continue to rebel despite their sufferings. Similarly, Amos emphasizes that despite various calamities sent as warnings, the people did not return to God. This demonstrates that mere suffering does not guarantee a change of heart, as true repentance must be divinely granted and inspired by understanding God's goodness and grace, not the consequences of our situations.
