Exegesis
The repeated lakhen {לָכֵן | lā-ḵēn} ‘therefore’ signals judgment, while the emphatic hineni {הִנְנִי | hin-nē-nî} ‘behold, I’ shifts to direct divine action against aleikhem {אֲלֵיכֶם | ʾă-lê-ḵem} ‘you’.
In context — Ezekiel 13:8
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD : “Because you have spoken falsehood and have seen lies , therefore behold, I am against you,” declares the Lord GOD.
