So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: 'The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Both Jeremiah 25:30 and Joel 3:16 use the image of Yahweh "roaring" (שָׁאַג, sha'ag) from His dwelling place to describe divine judgment. Joel 3:16 states "The LORD will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem," while Jeremiah 25:30 declares "The LORD will roar from on high, and thunder from His holy habitation." Both texts place this roar in an eschatological context of judgment against the nations, with Joel setting it in the Valley of Jehoshaphat and Jeremiah extending it to "all the inhabitants of the earth." The shared imagery of Yahweh's voice as a devastating lion's roar establishes a consistent prophetic motif of the Divine Warrior executing universal justice, with both texts emphasizing that this judgment originates from God's sanctuary.
