Exegesis
The repetition of anoikodomeso underscores the assurance of rebuilding, and the concluding future verb anorthoso auten {ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν | a-nor-THŌ-sō au-TĒN} ‘I will raise it up’ shifts to the image of setting the structure upright, completing the restoration motif. The linked kai conjunctions and successive future verbs convey a rhythmic prophetic assurance of thorough renewal.
