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.

17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the noise of war in the camp."

18 He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear."
