Exegesis
The participle kol ōvêr {כֹּל עוֹבֵ֣ר | kōl ʿō-ḇêr} ‘everyone passing by’ introduces the witnesses, followed by the imperfects yishom {יִשֹּׁ֖ם | yiš-šōm} ‘be appalled’ and veyanid {וְיָנִ֥יד | wə-yā-nîḏ} ‘wag’, with berosho {בְּרֹאשֽׁוֹ | bə-rō-šô} specifying the head as the locus of the gesture. This structure underscores the public and perpetual nature of the disgrace.
In context — Jeremiah 18:16
In this way their land will become a desolation and an object of perpetual hissing ; all who pass by will be appalled and will wag their heads.
