Exegesis
asiti {עָשִׂ֙יתִי … עָשִׂ֣יתִי | ʿā-śî-tî … ʿā-śî-tî} underscore deliberate divine action, framed by the negation lo chinam {לֹא חִנָּ֤ם | lōʾ ḥin-nām} “not without cause,” highlighting just motivation.
In context — Ezekiel 14:23
And they will comfort you when you see their way and their deeds, and you will know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause, declares the Lord GOD .
