Exegesis
The conjunction vehematti {וְהֵמַתִּי | wə-hē-mat-tî} ‘and I will kill’ (Hiphil perfect) marks God’s direct action against shorshekh {שָׁרְשֵׁךְ | šor-šê-ḵ} ‘your root’, followed by bara'av {בָרָעָב | bā-rā-ʿā-ḇ} ‘with famine’ specifying the instrument.
In context — Isaiah 14:30
And the firstborn of the poor will graze, and the needy will lie down in safety; but I will kill your root with famine, and it will slay your remnant.
