Exegesis
The prepositional infinitive lavaz {לָבַז | lā-ḇāz} ‘to plunder’ functions as the purpose complement to the imperfect etten {אֶתֵּן | ʾet-ten} ‘I will give’, indicating a determined future act.
In context — Jeremiah 15:13
I will give your wealth and your treasures as plunder , without price, because of all your sins and throughout your borders.
