Exegesis
The verse begins with lakhen {לָכֵ֞ן | lā-ḵēn} “therefore,” forming a causal link, followed by the prophetic introduction koh amar YHWH {כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהוָ֗ה | kō-ʾā-mar Yə-hō-wāh} “thus says the LORD,” establishing divine authority.
In context — Jeremiah 15:19
Therefore thus says the LORD : If you return, then I will restore you, and you will stand before Me. And if you extract the precious from the worthless, you will be like My mouth. They will return to you, but you shall not return to them.
