This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He shall not cry; either,
1. In a way of contention, as anger is oft accompanied with clamour, Eph_4:31. Or,
2. In a way of ostentation. It seems to be meant both ways, by comparing this place with Mat_12:16,17,20. He shall neither erect nor manage his kingdom with violence and outward pomp and state, as Worldly princes do, but with meekness and humility.
Nor lift up his voice, which is easily understood out of the following clause, and from many other scriptures, where that word is added to this verb to complete the phrase.
Nor cause his voice to be heard in the street; as contentious and vain-glorious persons frequently do.
