Exegesis
The verse employs a parallel promise structure with two verbs in first person singular: vehitzaltikha {וְהִצַּלְתִּ֖יךָ | wə-hiṣ-ṣal-tî-ḵā} ‘and I will deliver you’ (Hifil perfect emphasizing divine intervention) and ufeditikha {וּפְדִתִ֖יךָ | û-pə-ḏî-tî-ḵā} ‘and I will redeem you’ (Piel perfect with ransom nuance).
In context — Jeremiah 15:21
And I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked , and I will redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.
