Exegesis
The verse opens with a chain of aorist imperatives, idete {Ἴδετε | Í-de-te} ‘look’, thaumasate {θαυμάσατε | thau-MÁ-sa-te} ‘be amazed’, and aphanisthēte {ἀφανίσθητε | a-pha-NÍS-thē-te} ‘perish, disappear’, creating an urgent summons directed to the audience labeled by the nominative plural kataphronetai {καταφρονηταί | ka-ta-phro-nē-TAI} ‘despisers’. The vocative sense is carried by the nominative substantive with direct address.
In context — Acts 13:41
Look, you despisers , and be astonished and perish , because I am doing a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, even if someone fully tells it to you.
