Exegesis
The summons to repentance employs the Hiphil imperative ve-heitivu {וְהֵיטִיבוּ | wə-hê-ṭî-ḇû} ‘improve’ alongside the Qal imperative shuvu-na {שׁוּבוּ נָא | šû-ḇû nāʾ} ‘return now’, governing the parallel objects darkheikhem {דַּרְכֵיכֶם | darkhê-khem} ‘your ways’ and u-ma-alleikhem {וּמַעַלְלֵיכֶם | û-ma-ʿal-lê-ḥem} ‘your deeds’, preserving Hebrew parallelism and emphasizing holistic transformation.
