The Lords voice crieth unto the City. Tremelius turns it thus, The voice of the Lord doth preach unto this City (for what the matter is, thy Name seeth) Hear ye the Rod, &c. This City, viz. Jerusalem, and so consequently to all the Israelites; for in this City all Offices and duties of godliness and humanity were more religiously performed, or to be performed, than in any other place, because of the presence and majesty of God that was amongst them: But thy Majesty seeth what wickedness is practised amongst them, as is evident in the Verses following.

Crieth, The word is from Kara, which signifies, First, ⟨image 4⟩To Cry aloud, or, to make a noise, Isa. 58. 1. Cry aloud, there is Kara: The word signifies to Cry so loud, as that all may hear, that have ears to hear. Secondly, The word signifies, Openly to proclaim, preach, or publish a thing, Exod. 33. 19. I will Proclaim the Name of the Lord before thee: Here is the word Kara. Thirdly, The word signifies, To Cry out, Gen. 39. 15. I lifted up my voice and cried: Here is Kara. The Hebrew word [Greek or Hebrew] hath nine other significations in Scripture; but because they are not pertinent to what is in my eye, I shall pass them by at this time.
