Exegesis

The vav-consecutive ushfatikh {וּשְׁפַטְתִּיךְ֙ | û-šə-p̄aṭ-tîḵ} ‘and I will judge you’ links to the legal clause mishpetei noafot {מִשְׁפְּטֵ֣י נֹאֲפ֔וֹת | miš-pə-ṭê nōʼă-p̄ōṯ} ‘judgments of adulteresses,’ establishing the punitive standard.

In contextEzekiel 16:38

And I will judge you as adulteresses and bloodshed perpetrators are judged, and I will give you blood in wrath and jealousy.
