Exegesis
The relative clause asher nibbeta lahem ba-sheker {אֲשֶׁר־נִבֵּאתָ לָהֶם בַּשָּׁקֶר | ʾă-šer nib-bē-ʾā lā-hem baš-šā-qer} underscores the communal fault of false prophecy. The English rendering rearranges Hebrew verb-second clauses into subject-verb-object order while preserving rhetorical force and judgment tone.
