Pemikiran Yahudi Ayub 36:10: Duties & Derekh Hashem

(4) If other people speak badly of him, he should submit himself to the Creator, and thank Him for having opened his eyes to a few of his many shortcomings in order to chasten him and rebuke him, so that he will repent to Him, as written "He opens also their ear to discipline, and says so that they return from iniquity" (Iyov 36:10).

Afflictions - for arousal: However there is another extension of this principle regarding afflictions: For it also possible that a man be righteous but have sins in his hand - or be average with his actions evenly divided - such that the decree upon him is to arouse him to repent. And see that he will be afflicted from the Heavens so that he pay attention and examine his deeds. However these afflictions are not from the afflictions of atonement that we mentioned above, the point of which is to remove the iniquities in this world. Rather these afflictions are afflictions of arousal, to arouse the heart to repentance. For punishments were actually only designed for when there is no repentance. But what He, may He be blessed, desires is that man not sin; and that if he sin, he repent. But if he does not repent - in order that he not be destroyed - he is purged by punishments. And so, the premise of afflictions is the potential for arousal. But if man is not aroused by them, he is then afflicted with afflictions that remove [the sins]. And about this matter, Elihu said (Job 36:10), "He opens their understanding by discipline, and orders them back from mischief."
