Exegesis
The interjection oy {א֥וֹי | ʾōy} introduces the prophetic lament, addressing Jerusalem (Yerushalayim {יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם | yərūšālayim}).

I have seen your adulteries and your neighings—the lewdness of your harlotry on the hills in the field—and your abominations. Woe to you, Jerusalem ! Will you not be made clean? When shall it once be?
