Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive vayomer {וַיֹּ֙אמֶר | wa·yō·mer} leads into the prophetic oracle: yadati {יָדַ֗עְתִּי | yā·ḏa·tî} ‘I know,’ the causal conjunction-verb ki-ya‘atz {כִּֽי־יָעַ֤ץ | kî-yā·‘aṣ} ‘for he counseled,’ Elohim {אֱלֹהִים֙ | ʾĕ·lō·hîm} ‘God,’ and the Hifil infinitive lehashchitecha {לְהַשְׁחִיתֶ֔ךָ | lə·haš·ṣî·ṯe·ḵā} ‘to destroy you.’

“to know”
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:16
And it happened, as he was speaking to him, that the king said, “Have we appointed you as counselor to the king? Cease for yourself; why should they strike you?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel .”
