Exegesis
Finally, the prophetic formula neʾûm {נְאֻם | nᵉʾ-um} ‘declares’ and the compound name Adonai YHWH {אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה | ʾă-dō-nāy Yə-hō-wāh} underscore divine authority. The relative and perfect verb sequence highlights Israel’s misuse of gifts intended for Yahweh’s exclusive worship.

In context — Ezekiel 16:19
