Exegesis
The Hiphil participle mevi {מֵבִיא | mēvîʾ} ‘bringing’ conveys active intent, followed by the prepositional phrase el-ha’ir hazot ve’al-kol-areiha {אֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְעַל־כָּל־עָרֶיהָ | ʾel hāʿîr hazzōt wəʿal kāl ʿārêhā} specifying both the city and its towns.
In context — Jeremiah 19:15
Thus says the LORD of hosts , the God of Israel : Behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have spoken against her, because they have hardened their neck so as not to listen to My words.
