Exegesis
The prophetic formula koh amar {כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר | kō ʾā-mar} ‘thus says’ establishes YHWH {יְהוָ֗ה | Yə-hō-wāh} as speaker.
In context — Jeremiah 15:2
And it will happen that when they say to you, “Where shall we go out?” then you shall say to them, “Thus says the LORD : Whoever is for death, to death; and whoever is for the sword, to the sword; and whoever is for famine, to famine; and whoever is for captivity , to captivity.”
