Exegesis
The doubled et {אֶת | ʾet} before ʿammi {עַמִּי | ʿam-mî} ‘my people’ and Yisra’el {יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | yiś-rā-ʾêl} ‘Israel’ underscores both corporate and national identity. The structure—object preposing and asyndetic coordination—heightens the charge of prophetic corruption.
In context — Jeremiah 23:13
And among the prophets of Samaria I saw folly; they prophesied in Baal and led My people Israel astray.
