Exegesis
The idiomatic phrase acharei matai od {אַחֲרֵ֥י מָתַ֖י עֹֽד | ʾaḥărê mātāy ʿôḏ} expresses exasperated urgency regarding moral renewal.
In context — Jeremiah 13:27
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?
