"Cry with the throat." Crying with the throat or from the lungs is here opposed to a simple motion of the lips and tongue (1 Samuel 1:13). The common version, "Cry aloud," is therefore substantially correct, though somewhat vague. The LXX in like manner paraphrases it ἐν ἰσχύι. J.D. Michaelis reads, "as loud as thou canst." The positive command is enforced by the negative one, "spare not," as in Isaiah 54:2. The loudness of the call is intended to suggest the importance of the subject, and, perhaps, the insensibility of those to be convinced. The prophet here seems to turn away from avowed apostates to hypocritical professors of the truth.

(J. A. Alexander.)
