Exegesis
The infinitive latet {לָתֵת | lā-têt} ‘to give’ with othekha {אוֹתְךָ | ʾōṯ-ḵā} ‘you’ introduces a result clause leading into a three-term construct chain el-tsavarei {אֶל־צַוָּארֵי | ʾel-tsavārei} ‘to the necks of’, challey {חַלְלֵי | ḥal-lê} ‘slain of’, and reshaim {רְשָׁעִים | rə-shā-ʿîm} ‘the wicked’.
In context — Ezekiel 21:29
While they see vanity for you and practice deceitful divination for you, to place you on the necks of the slain of the wicked whose day has come when iniquity reaches its end.
