וַיֹּאמַ֓ר ׀ יְהוָה֙ מִצִיּ֣וֹן יִשְׁאָ֔ג וּמִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יִתֵּ֣ן קוֹל֑וֹ וְאָֽבְלוּ֙ נְא֣וֹת הָרֹעִ֔ים וְיָבֵ֖שׁ רֹ֥אשׁ הַכַּרְמֶֽל׃ (פ)
Disse ele: O SENHOR brama de Sião, e de Jerusalém faz ouvir a sua voz; os prados dos pastores lamentam, seca-se o cume do Carmelo.

And he tarried It is written in the Sefer Mikhlol, at the end of the section on verb grammar, that the latter mem has a qamaṣ on account of the shalsheleth cantillation, becuase it follows the rule of pausals. And it is masoretically recorded about this that "there are seven cantillation marks of the Thundering and Pausing" [translator's note: meaning, the cantillation mark shalsheleth appears seven times in the Tanakh, namely here, Genesis 24:12, Genesis 39:8, Leviticus 8:23, Isaiah 13:8, Amos 1:2, and Ezra 5:15] . And thus I saw handwritten in some books. But "If he tarries, wait for him" (Habakkuk 2:3) has a pathaḥ on the second mem.
