Exegesis
The paired infinitive constructs beshuvkhem {בְשׁוּבְכֶם | bə-šû-ḇə-ḵem} and velashuv {וְלָשׁוּב | wə-lā-šū-wôḇ} set out two sequential outcomes: experiencing compassion (lerachamim {לְרַחֲמִים | lə-ra-ḥă-mîm}) before captors (shoveihem {שׁוֹבֵיהֶם | šō-wê-hēm}) and restoration to the land (laaretz hazzot {לָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת | lā-ʾā-réṣ ḥa-zōṯ}).
