Exegesis
The causal conjunction kî yiṣʿăqû ʼel-YHWH {כִּֽי־יִצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה֙ | kî yiṣ-ʿă-qâ-w ʼel-yəhō-wāh} links oppression to divine appeal, while mip̄nê loḥaṣîm {מִפְּנֵ֣י לֹֽחֲצִ֔ים | mip̄-nê lō-ḥă-ṣîm} specifies the oppressors.
In context — Isaiah 19:20
And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, because they will cry out to the LORD on account of oppressors , and He will send them a savior and a great one, and He will deliver them.
