            警告 is the current modern wod for warning.

            警戒 focusses on what one is warning against.

            告誡 focusses on the communication of the content of the warning against something.

            敲警鐘 is an idiom referring figuratively to "sounding a warning".

            以儆效尤 (prov) refers very specifically to the punishing of a person which serves as a warning to others, and the idiom is marginal in this group.
