Exegesis
The cohortative piel amarer {אֲמָרֵר | ʾă-mā-rēr} ‘I will weep bitterly’ conveys intensified volitional grief, with babekhi {בַּבֶּכִי | bā-bê-khî} ‘in weeping’ situating the emotional context.
In context — Isaiah 22:4
Therefore I said, “Look away from me; I will bitterly weep in my tears. Do not hurry to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people .”
