Exegesis
Finally, the prophetic formula, yihyu ne'um YHWH Tsevaot {יִֽהְי֔וּ נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ | yiḥyû nəʾûm Yəhōwāh ṣəḇāʾōṯ} ‘they will be declares the LORD of hosts’, authenticates the oracle with divine authority. The paratactic structure and lack of explicit verbs between subjects underscore the comprehensive scope of judgment.
In context — Isaiah 17:3
And the fortress will cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the people of Israel—declares the LORD of hosts .
