Exegesis
The formulaic kōh ’āmar {כֹה אָמַר | kōh ʾāmar} ‘thus said’ confirms the LORD’s authority.
In context — Jeremiah 20:4
For thus says the LORD , “Behold, I am making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends ; and they will fall by the sword of their enemies as you watch. All of Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will exile them to Babylon and strike them down with the sword.”
