Exegesis

The cognate accusative construction in maalo asher maalbi {מַעֲלוֹ אֲשֶׁר מָעַל־בִּי | ma-ʿă-lō ʾă-šer mā-ʿal-bî} ‘his unfaithfulness which he acted treacherously against me’ intensifies the legal charge. English expands the compact Hebrew verb–object order with connective phrases to preserve both immediacy and judicial gravity.

In contextEzekiel 17:20

And I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon, and I will enter into judgment with him there for his unfaithfulness .
