Exegesis
The imperfect yihyu {יִהְי֥וּ | yi-hyū} and the adverb ʿôd {ע֛וֹד | ʿôḏ} anticipate a reversal of fate, with limtsudah {לִמְצוּדָ֑ה | li-mə-ṣū-ḏāh} “prey” specifying the intended ruin.
In context — Ezekiel 13:21
And I will tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hand, and they will no longer be in your hand as prey, and you will know that I am the LORD .
