The warning is addressed broadly to any who forget God—allowing His reality and covenant to slip from their mind and priorities. The language shifts to stark severity: God will tear them in pieces. This is not metaphorical but conveys utter destruction. There will be none to deliver—no one to rescue or shield them from judgment.
