Exegesis
The vav-consecutive in wekibbāṣtî {וְקִבַּצְתִּי | wekibbāṣtî} ‘and I will gather’ adds decisive sequential action, with the object ʾôtām {אֹתָם | ʾôtām} ‘them’ and the prepositional phrase ʿālayîḵ {עָלַיִךְ | ʿālayîḵ} ‘against you’ indicating hostile intent.
In context — Ezekiel 16:37
Therefore, behold, I am gathering all your lovers whom you have mingled with, and all those whom you have loved, along with all those whom you have hated. And I will gather them against you from every side and will uncover your nakedness , so that they may see all your nakedness.
