Exegesis
The verse uses a sequence of four Qal imperatives in the feminine singular—ali {עֲלִ֤י | ʿă-lī} “go up”, utsəaqi {וּֽצְעָ֔קִי | û-ṣə-ʿā-qī} “cry out”, teni {תְּנִי֣ | tə-nī} “give”, and vetsəaqi {וְצַֽעֲקִי֙ | və-ṣa-ʿă-qī} “cry out”—addressing the personified city.
In context — Jeremiah 22:20
Go up to Lebanon and cry out ; in Bashan lift up your voice; and cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been destroyed .
