Exegesis
The core of the verse is a string of Pael imperatives addressed to a plural audience: gûddû {גּֽוּדּוּ | gûd-dû} “hew down,” wəqaṣṣû {וְקַצּ֣וּ | wə-qaṣ-ṣû} “and cut off,” ʾattarû {אַתַּ֣רוּ | ʾat-ta-rû} “shake off / strip off,” and ûḇaddərû {וּבַדְּר֣וּ | û-ḇad-də-rû} “and scatter.” The Pael stem, parallel to Hebrew Piel, intensifies the action so that the commands convey thorough, decisive destruction.
