375. A “voice crying” and the “voice of a cry” are common forms of expression in the Word, and are applied to every case where there is any noise, tumult, or disturbance, and also on the occasion of any happy event (as in Exodus 32:17-18; Zephaniah 1:9-10; Isaiah 65:19; Jeremiah 48:3). In the present passage it denotes accusation.
