Exegesis
The pronoun atem {אַתֶּם | ʾattêm} shifts to direct address, and the Hifil perfect hafitzotem {הֲפִצֹתֶ֤ם | hăfiṣōṯêm} ‘you have scattered’ and the Hifil imperfect vatadichum {וַתַּדִּח֔וּם | wataḏḏîḥûm} ‘and you have driven them away’ reflect intensification of action.
In context — Jeremiah 23:2
Therefore, thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: You have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your misdeeds , declares the LORD.
