Exegesis

The imperative shimʿu {שִׁמְעוּ | šim-ʿû} ‘hear’ functions as a summons to the addressed groups malkhei Yehudah {מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה | mal-khê yə-hū-dāh} ‘kings of Judah’ and veyoshvei Yerushalayim {וְיֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִָם | wə-yōsh-vê yə-rū-shā-lā-yim} ‘inhabitants of Jerusalem.’

In contextJeremiah 19:3

And you shall say, “Hear the word of the LORD , O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the LORD of hosts , the God of Israel : Behold, I am bringing disaster upon this place so that everyone who hears about it—his ears will tingle.”
