Exegesis
The vav-consecutive ve-asapti {וְאָסַפְתִּי | wə-ā-sap-tî} shifts to a future perfect sense: “I will gather” (otam) these weapons “into the midst of this city” (el toch ha-ir hazot). The translation preserves Hebrew clause structure, consolidates phrases for clarity, and retains the urgent military and theological tone of the prophecy.
In context — Jeremiah 21:4
Thus says the LORD God of Israel : Behold, I am turning back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
