Exegesis
The imperfect verbs yakhmol {יַחְמֹל | yaḥ-mōl}, yanud {יָנ֣וּד | yā-nūd}, and yasur {יָסוּר | yā-sûr} move from inward compassion to external mourning to active turning aside.
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 ?
