Exegesis
The verse begins with the consecutive vav prefix in venasata {וְנָשָׂ֜אתָ | wə-nā-šā-’āṯā} ‘and you will take up’ followed by hamashal {הַמָּשָׁל | ham-mā-šāl} ‘proverb’, introducing a fixed rhetorical form.
In context — Isaiah 14:4
Then you will lift up this proverb against the king of Babylon and say, “See how the oppressor has come to an end; the insolence has ceased!”
