Exegesis

In the final clause, u-tsivhat Yerushalayim {וְצִוְחַ֥ת יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם | wə-ṣîwḥat Yərūšālayim} ‘the cry of Jerusalem’ precedes alatah {עָלָֽתָה | ʿālāṯā(h)} ‘has gone up’, evoking the imagery of a lament rising from the fallen city.

In contextJeremiah 14:2

Judah mourns, and her gates droop; her people sink down in darkness to the ground, and Jerusalem’s cry rises.
