'Cries' in the Bible

And in the middle of the day, Elijah made sport of them, saying, Give louder cries, for he is a god; he may be deep in thought, or he may have gone away for some purpose, or he may be on a journey, or by chance he is sleeping and has to be made awake.

So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.
