Exegesis
The verse comprises three coordinate clauses introduced by the emphatic pronoun ani {אֲנִי | ă-nî} 'I', followed by the Piel perfect tsiveiti {צִוֵּיתִי | tsiv-vē-ṯî} 'have commanded' and the Qal perfect karati {קָרָאתִי | qā-rā-tî} 'have called,' sharing the same subject for forceful divine action.
In context — Isaiah 13:3
I have given command to my consecrated ones, and I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, those who exult in my majesty .
