Exegesis

The temporal clause mehaesh yatsa’u {מֵהָאֵשׁ יָצָאוּ | mə-hā-ʾēš yā-ṣā-ʾû} ‘from the fire they have gone out’ uses a Qal perfect to indicate completed escape, while the imperfect toakhelem {תֹּאכְלֵם | tō-ʾă-ḵ-lêm} ‘will devour them’ emphasizes the certainty of judgment.

In contextEzekiel 15:7

And I will set my face against them; from the fire they have come out, but the fire will devour them; and you shall know that I am the LORD when I set my face against them.
