The attested use denotes the reapers’ cries in response to wages being withheld, as presented in James 5:4.

Senses in use

  1. Cries of workers deprived of wages · dominant

    In James 5:4, the nominative plural feminine form names the reapers’ cries alongside the withheld wage; the APB renders the clause "the outcries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In James 5:4, the APB presents the term as "the outcries of the reapers." This rendering is confirmed by the clause rather than treated as a precise lexical equivalent.
