Exegesis
The existential clause we-ein poteach {וְאֵין פֹּתֵחַ | wə-ʾên pōtēaḥ} ‘and there is no opening’ emphasizes the absence of anyone to open the cities.
In context — Jeremiah 13:19
The cities of the Negev are shut up, and there is no one to open them; Judah has been carried away into exile , all of it completely.
