Exegesis
The coordinated imperfect forms ve-yirʾeh and ve-yishmaʿ {וְיִרְאֶה וְיִשְׁמַע | wə-yirʾeh wə-yišmaʿ} ‘and might see and might hear’ convey potentiality, preserving the modal nuance of the Qal imperfect.
In context — Jeremiah 23:18
For who has stood in the council of the LORD , and seen and heard His word? Who has listened attentively to His word and heard it?
