Exegesis
The prepositional objects `al-ha-ish hahu {עַל־הָאִישׁ הַהוּא | ʿal-hā-ʾîš ha-hūʾ} ‘upon that man’` and `ve-al beito {וְעַל־בֵּיתוֹ | wə-ʿal bê-ṯô} ‘and upon his house’` broaden the scope to the domestic context. Hebrew word order frontloads the plural subjects before the conditional statement, while the English rendering reorders for narrative clarity.
In context — Jeremiah 23:34
And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, "The burden of the LORD ," I will punish that man and his house.
