Hi,
"One who suspects those who are innocent will suffer Divinely-administered physical punishment."
(Talmud, Shabbat 97a)
Rabbi Moshe Sofer (aka "Chatam Sofer") explained: Gd will ordinarily punish a person lightly, judging the person favorably and so presuming that the person will respond to a light rebuke.
However, if a person judges others unfavorably, then Gd judges him thus, too, and administers a more harsh rebuke.
(Chiddushei Chatam Sofer to Shabbat 97a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
