God's Purposeful Correction
Commentators explain that the "rebukes" in this verse refer to God's correction or discipline for sin. This is not seen as arbitrary punishment but as a purposeful action meant to make us feel the weight of our sin and turn back to Him. For believers, this is understood as the loving chastisement of a Father, designed to cure us of our faults.
