Exegesis
The imperfect verb yimshol {יִמְשֹׁל | yim-šō-l} ‘will use a proverb’ carries a future or iterative nuance, and the infinitive leemor {לֵאמֹר | lē-ʾē-mōr} ‘to say’ introduces direct speech.
In context — Ezekiel 16:44
Behold, everyone who uses proverbs against you will use a proverb, saying, “Like mother , like her daughter.”
