Exegesis
The nominal phrase tzeaqah {צְעָקָה | ṣə-ʿā-qāh} ‘a cry’ functions as a parallelistic response, and the locative phrase beyam-sup {בְּיַם־סוּף | bə-yam-sûp̄} ‘at the Sea of Reeds’ extends the scene to a distant boundary.
Root and etymology

In context — Jeremiah 49:21
From the sound of their fall , the earth quaked; a cry—at the Sea of Reeds , her voice was heard.
