Exegesis
The verse employs a tricolon of interrogative clauses introduced by the particle mi {מִי | mî} and linked with the conjunction u {וּ | û}, creating a crescendo of abandonment.
In context — Jeremiah 15:5
For who will have compassion on you, O Jerusalem ? Or who will lament for you? Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare ?
