Lexicon :: Strong's H2199 - zāʿaq

“Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring on them disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to me, but I will not hear them.

For whenever I speak, I cry out,

I proclaim, “Violence and destruction! ”

so the word of the LORD has become my

constant disgrace and derision.

Wail, you shepherds, and cry out.

Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.

Because the days of your slaughter have come,

you will fall and become shattered like a precious vase.

Why do you cry out about your injury?

Your pain has no cure!

I have done these things to you

because of your enormous guilt

and your innumerable sins.

This is what the LORD says:

Look, water is rising from the north

and becoming an overflowing wadi.

It will overflow the land and everything in it,

the cities and their inhabitants.

The people will cry out,

and every inhabitant of the land will wail.

Moab is put to shame, indeed dismayed.

Wail and cry out!

Declare by the Arnon

that Moab is destroyed.

Even when I cry out and plead for help,

he blocks out my prayer.

While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel when you pour out your wrath on Jerusalem? ”

Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out loudly, “Oh, Lord GOD! You are bringing the remnant of Israel to an end! ”

“Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people. It is against all the princes of Israel! They are given over to the sword with my people. Therefore strike your thigh in grief.

“Because of you, they raise their voices

and cry out bitterly.

They throw dust on their heads;

they roll in ashes.

They do not cry to me from their hearts;

rather, they wail on their beds.

They slash themselves[fn] for grain and new wine;

they turn away from me.

Israel cries out to me,

“My God, we know you! ”

Announce a sacred fast;

proclaim a solemn assembly!

Gather the elders

and all the residents of the land

at the house of the LORD your God,

and cry out to the LORD.

The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his god. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel and had stretched out and fallen into a deep sleep.

Then he issued a decree in Nineveh:

By order of the king and his nobles: No person or animal, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water.

Then they will cry out to the LORD,

but he will not answer them.

He will hide his face from them at that time

because of the crimes they have committed.

How long, LORD, must I call for help

and you do not listen

or cry out to you about violence

and you do not save?

For the stones will cry out from the wall,

and the rafters will answer them

from the woodwork.

Then he summoned me saying, “See, those going to the land of the north have pacified my Spirit in the northern land.”
