Bible Verses About Afflictions Made Beneficial: In keeping us from again departing from God

Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.

Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’

On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—

in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”
