Exegesis
The adverbial ve-sham {וְשָׁם | wə-šām} repeated before tamut {תָּמוּת | tā-mûṯ} and tiqaver {תִּקָּבֵר | tiq-qā-ḇêr} structures a culmination in exile, death, and burial. The Niphal imperfect tiqaver conveys a passive, inevitable outcome.
In context — Jeremiah 20:6
And you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house will go into captivity, and to Babylon you will go; and there you will die and be buried, you and all your friends , to whom you have prophesied lies .
