Sometimes sickness is a punishment for sin (Psalms 38:4). Sometimes sickness is simply because of our own carelessness or foolishness (Proverbs 22:5 as interpreted in Talmud, Ketubot 30a).

Sometimes sickness is a specific message from God.

Sometimes sickness is a message from our body, that something needs repair.

Sometimes sickness is to purify the soul.

If the sin is committed against a person, the person who committed the sin has to seek forgiveness from that person. According to Judaism, only the victim of the sin can forgive the sin.
