Pemikiran Yahudi Amsal 1:27: Duties

(4) When the punishment of the Creator comes on him, in the form of some type of tribulation. Since he sensed (the message early), he awakened and got up from his slumber, and repented to G-d from his sin. He is like a slave who ran away from his master, and the master dispatched an emissary to punish him and beat him for running away from his service. When the emissary reached him, he ran back to his master, confessing his sin and seeking forgiveness. On one like him, it is said: "when your fear comes like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind; when trouble and straits come upon you; then they will call Me, but I will not answer; [they shall seek Me, but they shall not find Me; Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the L-ord;]" (Mishlei 1:27), and "And when he was distressed, he entreated the L-ord his G-d, and he humbled himself greatly before the G-d of his fathers" (Divrei Hayamim II 33:12).
