Exegesis
The imperfect veyichallu {וְיִֽחֲל֖וּ | wəyiḥallû} “and they expect” plus the Piel infinitive leqayyem {לְקַיֵּ֥ם | ləqayyēm} “to establish/confirm” with davar {דָּבָֽר׃ | dāḇār} “word” conveys these false prophets’ own expectation of fulfillment. The vav-consecutives underscore the contrast between divine denial and human anticipation.
In context — Ezekiel 13:6
They have seen falsehood and lying divination, those who say, “An utterance of the LORD ,” though the LORD has not sent them; yet they hope that the word will be confirmed.
