Exegesis
The verse opens with the exclamation formula oy {אֽוֹי | ʾôy} 'woe' + li {לִי | lî} 'to me' + the vocative immi {אִמִּי | ʾimmî} 'my mother', forming a lament.
In context — Jeremiah 15:10
Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land! I have not lent, nor have they lent to me, yet all of them curse me .
