Exegesis
The verse opens with hineni {הִ֠נְנִי | hin·nē·nî} ‘Behold’, combining a demonstrative particle and first person pronoun to highlight divine presence.
In context — Jeremiah 23:32
Behold, I am against the prophets of false dreams, declares the LORD , who tell them and lead My people astray by their lies and by their recklessness; yet I did not send them nor command them. Therefore, they will not profit this people, declares the LORD.
