An outcry or shriek of distress, anguish, or protest, often reaching God as an appeal for justice
A loud, anguished cry—whether of individual pain or collective oppression—that rises as an implicit or explicit plea for divine intervention. The outcry of Sodom (Gen 18:21; 19:13) prompted God's investigation; the cry of Israel in Egypt (Exod 3:7, 9) moved him to deliver. Nehemiah 5:1 records such a cry against economic injustice within the community itself. Spanish 'clamor' captures the resonance of public, urgent appeal, while French 'cri' preserves the raw, visceral quality of distress voiced aloud.

Senses
1. cry, outcry A loud cry expressing distress, anguish, or moral outrage, typically directed toward or heard by God as a plea for justice or deliverance. The 'outcry' of Sodom (Gen 18:21; 19:13) signals wickedness demanding judgment; Israel's cry in Egypt (Exod 3:7, 9) provokes divine rescue. The same noun covers personal grief (Gen 27:34) and communal protest (Neh 5:1). Spanish 'clamor' and English 'outcry' both convey the public, urgent character present in every occurrence. 21×
