And the punishment of the godless is nicely described in Lev 26:36-
The sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee; they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.
Fear as punishment. Fear as an abiding unrelenting condition is divine punishment for the godless.
You show me someone who is constantly afraid and I’ll show you someone utterly godless.
Zwinglius Redivivus
