Exegesis
The paired verbs vekhartu {וְכָֽרְתוּ | wə-ḵā-rə-ṯû} and vehipilu {וְהִפִּ֖ילוּ | wə-hi-pî-lû} form a parallel structure that intensifies the destructive action.
In context — Jeremiah 22:7
I will set apart against you destroyers, each man with his weapons; and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars , and cast them into the fire.
