Exegesis
The Niphʿal perfect verb nishma {נִשְׁמַע | niš-maʿ} ‘was heard’ introduces a passive-result clause, with the suffixed noun kolah {קוֹלָהּ | qō-lāh} ‘its sound’ recalling the earlier cry with feminine agreement. The sequential structure of fall, quake, cry, and audible aftermath employs Hebrew parallelism and V–S word order to heighten dramatic impact.
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.
