Exegesis
The renewed self-identification ani YHWH {אֲנִ֛י יְהוָ֥ה | ʾănî Yəhōwāh} tightens the authority claim, and the closing perfect dibbarti {דִּבַּֽרְתִּי | dibbartî} functions as a performative seal, presenting the pronouncement as fixed and not open to reversal. The English renderings keep the emphatic self-reference and preserve the two coordinated actions (gesture, then wrath-settling) before the climactic divine signature.
