A Mandate for Bold Proclamation
Commentators unanimously agree that God's command to "cry aloud...like a trumpet" is not merely about volume, but about the manner of proclamation. It calls for bold, clear, and forceful preaching that doesn't spare feelings or speak "smooth things" when confronting sin. John Calvin notes this means using a "keenness and severity of language" necessary to pierce through spiritual complacency.
