Cry out with your voice, O daughter of Gallim; hearken, O Laishah; answer, O Anathoth—the extension of the warning to towns further along the Assyrian line of advance, with the appeal for response suggesting both warning of danger and summons to repentance. The personification of towns as female entities emphasizes the vulnerability of the civilian population before military conquest. This verse shifts the perspective to those in the path of the advancing army, inviting their response to the prophetic warning.
