Exegesis

The imperfect ereh {אֶרְאֶ֤ה | ʾer-ʾē} conveys the plea “let me see,” followed by the construct noun nikmatekha {נִקְמָֽתְךָ֙ | niq-māṯ-ḵā} ‘your vengeance’ with mehem {מֵהֶ֔ם | mē-hēm} ‘from them’ specifying the recipients.

In context — Jeremiah 20:12

But you, O LORD of hosts , who examine the righteous and see the kidneys and heart, let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have revealed my cause.
