Exegesis
The phrase le-elohim acherim {לֵאלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים | lēʾĕlōhîm ʾăhêrîm} expresses syncretistic worship, while lemaʿan hakkiʿsēnî {לְמַ֙עַן֙ הַכְעִיסֵ֔נִי | lemăʿăn hakkiʿsēnî} marks purpose “so that they might provoke me.”
In context — 2 Kings 22:17
Because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods to provoke Me by every deed of their hands, My wrath has ignited against this place and will never be extinguished.
