Exegesis
The verse is introduced by ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’, linking the command to the larger oracle, and koh {כֹּה | kôh} ‘thus’, a conventional cue that what follows is an authoritative utterance.
In context — Isaiah 21:6
For thus the Lord said to me: “Go, place the watchman ; let him declare what he sees.”
