Exegesis
The adverb `kakha {כָּכָה | kā-kāh} ‘thus’ and the phrase `la’ir {לָעִיר | lā-ʿîr} `hagedolah {הַגְּדוֹלָה | ha-gedôlāh} `hazot {הַזֹּאת | ha-zōṯ} ‘to this great city’ complete the prophetic declaration, framing the LORD’s action as both decisive and unprecedented. The formal mirrors the Hebrew distributive and causal structures; the dynamic smooths idiomatic expressions for clarity.
In context — Jeremiah 22:8
And many nations will pass over this city, and each man will say to his neighbor, "Why has the LORD done thus to this great city ?"
