Exegesis
The compound divine name YHWH tsevaot {יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת | Yə-hō-wāh ṣə-ḇā-ʾōṯ} underscores covenant authority over heavenly hosts.
The prophet’s introductory verb amar {אָמַר | ʾā-mar} leads into the direct speech, which closes with the second compound divine title Adonai YHWH tsevaot {אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאוֹת | ʾă-dō-nāy Yə-hō-wîh ṣə-ḇā-ʾōṯ}, reinforcing divine sovereignty and judicial finality.
