Exegesis
The prophetic formula kō ʾāmar YHWH {כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה | kō ʾā-mar Yə-hō-wāh} ‘thus says the LORD’ introduces direct speech.
In context — Jeremiah 24:8
And like the bad figs which cannot be eaten from badness, thus says the LORD : “So I will treat Zedekiah the king of Judah and his officials , the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those dwelling in the land of Egypt like these bad figs.”
