Jeremiah 6:1
The Destruction of Jerusalem Depicted
6:1 “Run for safety, people of Benjamin!
Get out of Jerusalem!
Sound the trumpet in Tekoa!
Light the signal fires at Beth Hakkerem!
For disaster lurks out of the north;
it will bring great destruction.
Ezekiel 33:2-6
33:2 “Son of man, speak to your people,
and say to them, ‘Suppose I bring a sword against the land, and the people of the land take one man from their borders and make him their watchman.
33:3 He sees the sword coming against the land, blows the trumpet,
and warns the people,
33:4 but there is one who hears the sound of the trumpet yet does not heed the warning. Then the sword comes and sweeps him away. He will be responsible for his own death.
33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, so he is responsible for himself.
If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.
33:6 But suppose the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. Then the sword comes and takes one of their lives. He is swept away for his iniquity,
but I will hold the watchman accountable for that person’s death.’

An eagle looms over the temple of the Lord!
For they have broken their covenant with me,
and have rebelled against my law.

If disaster overtakes a city, is the Lord not responsible?
