Exegesis
The verse concludes with the prophetic formula neum {נְאֻם | nə’ūm} followed by YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh}, forming a nominative absolute that asserts divine authority. The coordination of participles and the direct object focus underscore the leaders’ active negligence and divine judgment.
