Exegesis

The paired nouns ir {עִ֚יר | ʿîr} and kiryah {קִרְיָ֖ה | qir-yāh}, modified by the adjectives homiyah {הֽוֹמִיָּ֔ה | hō-miy-yāh} ‘noisy’ and allizah {עַלִּיזָ֑ה | ʿăl-lî-zāh} ‘joyous,’ form a synonymous parallelism emphasizing both agitation and festivity.

Root and etymology

ʿ-l-zayin–lamed–zayin

to exult, rejoice

In contextIsaiah 22:2

Full of shoutings, a noisy city, a joyous town; your slain were not slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.
