'Warnings' in the Bible

They rejected His statutes and His covenant He had made with their ancestors and the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and became worthless themselves, following the surrounding nations the Lord had commanded them not to imitate.

Our kings, leaders, priests, and ancestorsdid not obey Your lawor listen to Your commandsand warnings You gave them.

He uncovers their ears at that timeand terrifies them with warnings,

Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer pays attention to warnings.
