Exegesis
The Piel imperfect yeyelil {יְיֵלִּיל | yĕ-yê-lîl} intensifies the lament into wailing, leading into the participle yored {יֹרֵד | yō-rēd} which describes the downward movement of the mourners.
In context — Isaiah 15:3
In its streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth; on its rooftops and in its open squares every one wails, going down in weeping .
