Exegesis
The verse begins with the vav-consecutive verb `ve’avru {וְעָֽבְרוּ | wə-ʿāḇərû} ‘and they will pass,’ projecting a future action where `goyim {גּוֹיִם | gôyim} ‘nations’ move upon `ha’ir {הָעִיר | hā-ʿîr} ‘the city.’
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 ?"
