Exegesis
The main clause lōʾ tiḥyeh {לֹא תִּחְיֶה | lōʾ tiḥ-yeh} ‘you shall not live’ delivers the verdict, followed by the causal ki še-qer dibbārtā {כִּי שֶׁקֶר דִּבַּרְתָּ | kî še-qer dĭb-băr-tā} ‘for you have spoken falsehood’, with sheqer {שֶׁקֶר | še-qer} bearing the semantic weight of deception.
In context — Zechariah 13:3
And it will come to pass, when anyone again prophesies, that his father and his mother who bore him shall say to him, “You shall not live, for you have spoken falsehood in the name of the LORD .” And his father and his mother who bore him shall pierce him through as he prophesies.
