Punishing one who sins

Hi,

"They asked Wisdom: What should be the punishment of a sinner? She replied: ‘Wicked people should be pursued by their sins [Mishlei 13:21].’

"They asked Prophecy: What should be the punishment of a sinner? She replied [Yechezkel 18:4]: ‘The sinning soul should die.’

"They asked Gd: What should be the punishment of a sinner? He replied: Let him repent, and it will be forgiven for him.""

(Talmud Yerushalmi, Makkot 2:6)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
