Exegesis
The compound tivkeh-nafšî {תִבְכֶּה-נַפְשִׁי | tiv-keh-nap̄-shî} ‘my soul shall weep’ conveys inner grief, amplified by the causal mipnê gēwāh {מִפְּנֵי גֵוָה | mip-nê gē-wāh} ‘because of pride.’
In context — Jeremiah 13:17
But if you will not listen to it, in secret places my soul shall weep because of pride; and my eye will weep and run down with tears, because the flock of the LORD is taken captive.
