  • Joel 2:1 (verbal): Directly parallels the command to 'blow the trumpet' as an alarm calling the people together for impending judgment; Joel frames the trumpet as a summons before the day of the Lord.
  • Amos 3:6 (thematic): Uses the image of a trumpet/alarum as a sign that God is bringing calamity — thematically echoes Jeremiah's trumpet-call as a divine warning to assemble and take refuge.
  • Ezekiel 33:3-6 (structural): Develops the watchman/trumpet motif: sounding an alarm to warn the people so they may flee or be spared — parallels Jeremiah's function of public proclamation and warning to assemble in fortified cities.

Alternative generated candidates

  • Jeremiah 1:14–15 (verbal): Earlier proclamation that 'out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land'—same motif of a northern disaster as divine judgment.
  • Isaiah 5:26 (verbal): Uses the image of lifting up an ensign/standard to signal approaching judgment from afar—parallel verbal motif of raising a banner as a warning.
  • Joel 2:1 (thematic): Calls for trumpet/ alarm in Zion and summoning the people because of an approaching day of devastation—functions like Jeremiah's call to 'set up a standard' and prepare for coming disaster.
  • Habakkuk 1:6 (thematic): God announces raising a foreign power (the Chaldeans) to punish the peoples—parallels Jeremiah's declaration that God will 'bring evil from the north' as an instrument of judgment.

  • Hosea 5:14 (allusion): God (or an agent of judgment) is compared to a lion going up from its thicket to confront Israel/Ephraim—same motif of a predator leaving its haunt to execute punishment.

  • Habakkuk 1:6-8 (thematic): Describes the Chaldeans as a swift, ruthless people like lions who sweep over nations—parallels Jeremiah's theme of a formidable, lion-like invader who devastates the land.

Proclaim in Judah and sound aloud in Jerusalem; blow the trumpet in the land; call, "Assemble!" and cry, "Let us declare a warning to the fortified cities!"

Raise a standard over Zion; flee, do not stand still— for I am bringing disaster from the north, and a great destruction.

A lion has come up from his thicket, a destroyer of nations has set out; he has gone forth from his place to lay waste your land. Your cities will be left desolate, with no one to dwell in them.

Therefore gird yourselves with sackcloth; wail and lament— for the fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back from you.

It shall come to pass in that day, declares the LORD, that the heart of the king and the heart of the princes shall be confused; the priests shall be appalled, and the prophets astonished. And I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Truly you have deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall have peace'—when the sword reaches to the life."

At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: 'A scorching wind from the bare heights of the desert is coming against my people—not to winnow, and not to cleanse.'

A full wind from me now will blow; therefore I will pronounce my judgments against them.

Behold, he comes up like clouds; his chariots are like a whirlwind; his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined.

Wash your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

For a voice proclaims from Dan and announces trouble from Ephraim.

Make mention to the nations: 'Look, proclaim against Jerusalem—watchmen come from a distant land; they lift up their voice against the cities of Judah.'

They shall be like watchmen all around her, because she had rebelled against me, declares the LORD.

Your way and your deeds have brought this upon you; this is your wickedness—how bitter it is; it has reached to your very heart.

My inward parts, my inward parts! I writhe in pain—my heart is troubled within me; I cannot keep silent, for I hear the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

Ruin upon ruin is proclaimed; for the whole land lies desolate—suddenly my tents are plundered, and my curtains in an instant.

How long will I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

For my people are foolish; they do not know me. They are senseless children, and have no understanding; they are skilled at doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

I looked upon the land—and behold, it was formless and void; and the heavens had no light.

I looked at the mountains—and behold, they trembled; all the hills were shaken.
