Exegesis
The perfect yadata {יָדַעְתָּ | yā-ḏaʿ-tā} takes the object-marker et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} plus kol atzatam {כָּל־עֲצָתָם | kôl ʿă-ṣā-ṯām} ‘all counsel,’ while alai {עָלַי | ʿā-lay} ‘against me’ and la-mavet {לַמָּוֶת | la-mā-weṯ} ‘for death’ specify hostile intent.
In context — Jeremiah 18:23
But You, LORD , know all their designs against me for death; do not forgive their iniquity and do not blot out their sin from before You. Let them be overthrown before You; at the time of Your wrath, bring judgment upon them.
