Exegesis
Ki {כִּ֚י | kî} introduces the content of what will be known, and the fronted ani YHWH {אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה | ʾă-nî YHWH} creates an emphatic self-identification (“I—YHWH”), grounding the message in the divine speaker.
In context — Ezekiel 21:5
And all flesh will know that I, the LORD , have drawn out My sword from its sheath; it will not return again.
