Exegesis
An interrogative clause begins with ayeh {אַיֵּ֥ה | ʾay-yēh} ‘where’, leading into the construct noun devar {דְבַר־ | də-var} ‘word’ linked to the divine name YHWH {יְהוָ֖ה | Yə-hō-wāh}, forming the idiom ‘word of the LORD’.
In context — Jeremiah 17:15
Behold, they are saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD ? Let it come now !”
