Significance: Both Amos 1:2 and Jeremiah 25:30 employ the image of Yahweh roaring (שָׁאַג, sha'ag) from His heavenly dwelling to announce judgment against the nations. Amos opens his oracle cycle with "The LORD roars from Zion," while Jeremiah extends this theophanic motif to depict God roaring "from on high" against "all the inhabitants of the earth." Jeremiah's expansion of the image from regional judgment (Amos's surrounding nations) to universal scope shows how the prophetic tradition amplified Amos's localized divine warrior imagery into a comprehensive vision of cosmic judgment.

Text: Jeremiah 25:30
OT Text Referred to: Amos 1:2
Subject: Yahweh roars
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Longitudinal Theme
Significance: Both texts describe Yahweh "roaring" (יִשְׁאָג, yish'ag) from His dwelling place as He executes judgment. Amos 1:2 declares "The LORD roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem," while Jeremiah 25:30 echoes "The LORD will roar from on high, and thunder from His holy habitation." The shared verb שָׁאַג (sha'ag, "to roar") and the image of Yahweh issuing judgment from His sanctuary create a consistent prophetic motif of God as the Divine Warrior whose voice — like a lion's roar — announces inescapable judgment. Amos applies this to the nations surrounding Israel (Amos 1-2), while Jeremiah extends it to "all the inhabitants of the earth" (25:30), universalizing the judgment oracle.
