Exegesis
Finally, the adversative va-ani {וַאֲנִ֖י | wa-ʾănî} ‘but I’ contrasts with the negated perfect dibbarti {דִבַּֽרְתִּי | dib-bâr-tî} ‘I have spoken’, underscoring divine denial of the false prophecy.
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.
