Ezekiel 33:5

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

Cross-reference

Exodus 9:19-21 shows Egyptians who heeded the warning about the hail were saved, while those who ignored perished—a direct parallel to the trumpet warning and personal responsibility.
