When the children of Israel suffered for their sin, they could never say that the Lord did not warn them, for He told them explicitly what He would do, such as in this passage,

“And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit” (Leviticus 26.18–20). 

Warnings such as that one, fill the pages of Scripture. How can anyone miss it?
