Exegesis
The apodosis hoi lithoi kraxousin {οἱ λίθοι κράξουσιν | hoî lí-thoi krát-xou-sin} shifts to a simple future indicative, personifying stones as subjects that will inevitably voice praise. Greek’s parallelism between human silence and creation’s vocal response is maintained in English with the conditional “if … become silent … will cry out,” preserving the contrast and dramatic reversal.
Root and etymology
oikomicron–iota–kappa
“house, dwelling”
In context — Luke 19:40
And answering, He said, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out.”
