    In Isaiah 16:9 the APB renders a cry as having fallen upon the summer and harvest, while Isaiah 16:10 says that it has been made to cease amid vineyards and winepresses. Jeremiah 25:30 and Jeremiah 48:33 likewise place it with treading and winepress activity; Jeremiah 51:14 presents men raising it against another party.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun with “shout,” “shouting,” and a cry raised against someone; in the vineyard passages it also describes the cry as ceased or not raised. Its varied English phrasing does not establish separate lexical senses.
