Certainly the sovereign Lord does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

For here he is! He formed the mountains and created the wind. He reveals his plans to men. He turns the dawn into darkness and marches on the heights of the earth. The Lord, the God who commands armies, is his name!”

The Lord decided not to do this. The sovereign Lord said, “This will not happen either.”

If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear? If disaster overtakes a city, is the Lord not responsible?
