Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect hinnabbe’u {הִנַּבְּא֣וּ | hin-nab-bə-ʾû} ‘they prophesied’ indicates causative speech, followed by the vav-consecutive vayyat’u {וַיַּתְע֥וּ | vay-ya-ṭ-ʿû} ‘and they led astray,’ advancing the narrative.
In context — Jeremiah 23:13
And among the prophets of Samaria I saw folly; they prophesied in Baal and led My people Israel astray.
