10457. But the voice of a miserable cry do I hear. That this signifies the lamentable state of their interiors, is evident from the signification of "the voice of a miserable cry," as being what is lamentable; for in the original tongue this is expressed by a term which means "a cry," and "affection," and also "misery," thus which means "a miserable cry;" and when "voice" signifies the quality of the interiors (see n. 10454), then "the voice of a miserable cry" signifies the lamentable state of the interiors.
