375. 'A voice crying out' and 'the voice of a cry' are expressions commonly used in the Word and are applied to any situation involving any kind of uproar, commotion, or disturbance, even when the occasion is a happy one, as in Exodus 32:17-18; Zephaniah 1:9-10; Isaiah 65:19; Jeremiah 48:3. In this instance the voice is one of accusation.

In Numbers 22:4, 7 and Jeremiah 48:38, Moab signifies people in natural good who easily permit themselves to be led astray. (Arcana Coelestia 3242[3], 10184[2]) In an opposite sense, it signifies people who adulterate what is good. 'Moab and Ammon' signify people with whom good is adulterated and truth falsified.
