Punishment vs consequences

 Fifty six times out of 382 pqd is used with the preceding word being yl. 

I have not been absolutely consistent in my translation but I wondered if 'visit against/on/upon' could be allowed to be glossed as punish in English. It cannot. Because as is obvious pqd is used with yl for a variety of contexts.

There is certainly a threat in some of them. Who would want to have the consequences of some actions held against them? If husband or wife are to leave their spouse and children without cause - then will want and misery stand over the parent when the visitation is made against the parent? (You may note that Mr Dickens never uses the word punish in A Christmas Carol - he knew.)
