The term "crieth" is an archaic form of the verb "cry," often used in the King James Version and other older translations of the Bible. It denotes a loud call or plea, often directed towards God or in a public setting. In the context of Scripture, "crieth" is used to express a range of emotions, including desperation, supplication, proclamation, and even judgment.

Biblical Usage:

1. Supplication and Desperation:
The act of crying out to God is a recurring theme in the Bible, reflecting the human condition of dependence on divine intervention. In the Psalms, David frequently "crieth" unto the Lord in times of distress. For example, Psalm 34:17 states, "The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles." This verse underscores the belief that God is attentive to the cries of His people and is willing to deliver them from their afflictions.

2. Proclamation and Warning:
Prophets often "crieth" out to the people of Israel, delivering messages from God. Isaiah 40:3 declares, "A voice of one calling: 'Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.'" Here, the cry is a call to repentance and preparation for the coming of the Lord. The prophetic cry serves as both a warning and an invitation to return to God.

3. Judgment and Justice:
The cry for justice is another significant aspect of the biblical narrative. In James 5:4 , the cry of the oppressed reaches the ears of the Lord: "Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts." This passage highlights the biblical principle that God is a defender of the oppressed and that injustice will not go unnoticed.

4. Wisdom and Understanding:
In the book of Proverbs, wisdom is personified and "crieth" out in the streets, inviting people to embrace understanding and righteousness. Proverbs 1:20-21 states, "Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square; in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech." This imagery emphasizes the accessibility of wisdom and the importance of heeding its call.

Theological Implications:

The act of crying out in the Bible is deeply connected to the themes of faith, repentance, and divine justice. It reflects a recognition of human limitation and the need for God's intervention. The cries of the faithful are met with divine response, illustrating God's compassion and readiness to act on behalf of His people. Conversely, the cries of the oppressed serve as a reminder of God's commitment to justice and His ultimate authority over human affairs.

In summary, "crieth" in the biblical context is a powerful expression of human emotion and divine interaction. It serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking God in times of need, proclaiming His truth, and advocating for justice in a fallen world.
