Exegesis
Two accusative constructs follow in sequence: machazeh-shav {מַֽחֲזֵה-שָׁוְא֙ | maḥăzê-šāwʾ} ‘vision of emptiness’ and the construct chain miksam kazav {וּמִקְסַ֥ם כָּזָ֖ב | û-miq-sam kā-zāḇ} ‘divination of falsehood’, each linked to a perfect verb: chazitem {חֲזִיתֶ֔ם | ḥăzî-tem} ‘you have seen’ and amartem {אֲמַרְתֶּ֑ם | ʾă-mar-tem} ‘you have spoken’.
In context — Ezekiel 13:7
Is it not a vision of emptiness that you have seen, and a divination of falsehood that you have spoken? And you keep saying, “Oracle of the LORD ,” but I have not spoken.
