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 Exod 32:17, 18; Zeph 1:9, 10; Isa 65:19; Jer 48:3. In this instance the voice is one of accusation.
