לָכֵן כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת אֲדֹנָי בְּכׇל־רְחֹבוֹת מִסְפֵּד וּבְכׇל־חוּצוֹת יֹאמְרוּ הוֹ־הוֹ וְקָרְאוּ אִכָּר אֶל־אֵבֶל וּמִסְפֵּד אֶל־יוֹדְעֵי נֶֽהִי׃
Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, says thus; Lamentation shall there be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and to wailing such as are skilful in lamentation.

Rashi
וקראו איכר אל אבל. יפגעו שיירות האיכרים החורשים בשדות בקול מספד האבלים הצועקים בחוצות:
and they shall meet the plowman with mourning Heb. וְקָרְאוּ. They shall meet companies of plowmen, plowing in the fields, with the voice of the lamentation of the mourners crying in the streets.
ומספד אל יודעי נהי. ועביד מספדא יערע בדעביד אילייא ואינו אלא ל' כפול כמו משפטי ודיני (תהלים ט'):
and lamentation with those who know to wail—[Jonathan renders:] And the one who makes a lamentation shall meet one who makes a wailing. And this is only a repetitious expression. Cf. (Ps. 9:5) “My right and my cause (מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי).”
וּבְכׇל־כְּרָמִים מִסְפֵּד כִּֽי־אֶעֱבֹר בְּקִרְבְּךָ אָמַר יְהֹוָֽה׃ {פ}
And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, says the Lord.
And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, says the Lord.
הו הו. ל' צעקה:
Alas! Alas! Heb. הוֹ הוֹ, an expression of a cry.
