Exegesis
The verse employs a parallel structure with r'fa'eni {רְפָאֵנִי | rə-p̄ā-ʾê-nî} 'heal me' followed by the Niphal imperfect ve'erafe {וְאֵרָפֵא | wə-ʼê-rā-p̄ê} 'and I will be healed', then repeats with hoshi'eni {הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי | hō-šî-ʿê-nî} 'save me' and veivvashe'ah {וְאִוָּשֵׁ֑עָה | wə-ʼiwwā-šê-ʿāh} 'and I will be saved', underscoring assured divine response.
In context — Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, LORD , and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved; for You are my praise .
