Exegesis
The interrogative maddua {מַדּוּעַ | maḏ-du-‘aʿ} ‘why’ precedes qerauni {קְרָאֻנִי | qᵊ-rā-’ū-nî}, a Qal perfect with first person suffix idiomatically rendered “come upon me.”
In context — Jeremiah 13:22
And if you say in your heart, “Why have these things happened to me?” it is on account of the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts have been uncovered and your heels have been violated.
