Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,

When I heard their outcry and these complaints, I became extremely angry,

You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt; You heard their cry at the Red Sea.

When Mordecai learned of all that had happened, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.

…in order to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established them and had committed themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and lamentation.

O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.

The calm words of the wise are heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.

My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.

For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.

I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

Let a cry be heard from their houses when You suddenly bring raiders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden snares for my feet.

May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,

Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.

There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.

At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.

“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!

The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out.
