Exegesis
The verse begins with the logical connector laken {לָכֵן | lâ-ḵên} ‘therefore’, followed by the prophetic formula koh {כֹּה | kô} ‘thus’ and amar {אָמַר | ’ā-mar} ‘said’, signaling direct speech.
In context — Ezekiel 15:6
Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD : “As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for consuming , so have I given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”
