Exegesis
The conjunction wə- then links to hechriv {הֶחֱרִיב | he-ḥĕ-rîḇ} ‘he laid waste’ as the main destructive verb with veareihem {וְעָרֵיהֶם | wə-ʿārêhēm} ‘their cities’ as its object.
In context — Ezekiel 19:7
And he knew their widows, and he laid waste their cities; the land and all its fullness were appalled at the sound of his roaring.
