Benefits of Affliction—Brings Sin to Remembrance
Scripture
KJV
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
ESV
And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction, then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
Job 36:8-9
Poem
My former hopes are fled,
My terror now begins;
I feel, alas! that I am dead
In trespasses and sins.
