Exegesis
The sequential conjunction in vaʼat {וָאַט | wāʼaṭ} ‘and I will stretch out’ connects with et-yadi {אֶת־יָדִי | ʼet-yādî} alayikh {עָלַיִךְ | ʿălayəḵ} ‘my hand over you,’ followed by vaʼashkhiteḳ {וָאַשְׁחִיתֵךְ | wāʼaš·ḥî·ṯēḵ} ‘and I will destroy you,’ stressing divine action.
In context — Jeremiah 15:6
You have forsaken me, declares the LORD ; you go backward. Therefore I will stretch out my hand over you and destroy you. I am weary of relenting .
