Exegesis
The prophetic formula neum Adonai YHWH {נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה | nə-ʾum ʾă-do-nāy YHWH} ‘declares the Lord GOD’ frames the oracle in authoritative divine speech. English translation adapts Hebrew word order to subject-verb-object and supplies definite articles for readability while preserving the chiastic emphasis and theological force of the original.
