Exegesis
The objects alati {אָלָתִי֙ | ʾā-lā-tî} ‘my oath’ and u-britti {וּבְרִיתִ֖י | û-ḇə-rî-tî} ‘my covenant’ are linked by parallel clauses introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁ֣ר | ʾă-šer}, describing what he despised (bazah {בָּזָ֔ה | bā-zāh}) and what he broke (hefir {הֵפִ֑יר | hē-pîr}).
In context — Ezekiel 17:19
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD : As I live , surely my oath—which he has despised—and my covenant—which he has broken—I will place it upon his head.
