Exegesis
The causal conjunction u-bazot {וּבָזֹאת֙ | ū-ḇā-zōṯ} ‘because of this’ introduces the result clause, which uses ‘aleikha ketsef milifnei YHWH {עָלֶיךָ קֶצֶף מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה | ʿā-le-ḵā qe-ṣēp̄ mi-lip̄-nē Yə-hō-wāh} to highlight the immediate source of divine wrath. The Hebrew sequencing of challenge then consequence is preserved to maintain rhetorical impact.
In context — 2 Chronicles 19:2
Jehu son of Hanani, the seer , came out to meet him and spoke to King Jehoshaphat, “Is it fitting for you to aid the wicked and to love those who hate the LORD ? Because of this, wrath from the LORD has come upon you.”
