From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The voice of the Lord crieth unto the city -that is, Jerusalem, as the metropolis of their wealth and their sin, the head and heart of their offending. “Crieth,” aloud, earnestly, intently, so that all might hear. So God says, “Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding pat forth her voice? She crieth at the gates, - unto you, O men, I cry, and my voice is to the sons of men”Proverbs 8:1,Proverbs 8:3-4; and Isaiah prophesied of John the Immerser, “the voice of one crying in the wilderness”Isaiah 40:3;Matthew 3:3; and our Lord saith, “He that heareth you, heareth Me. And the man of wisdom shall see Thy Name”Luke 10:16.
