Exegesis
The direct object shelalekh {שְׁלָלֵךְ | šəlālēḵ} precedes the locative bə-qir-bēkh {בְּקִרְבֵּךְ | bə-qirbēkh}, highlighting the paradox of punishment at the heart of the city. English translation shifts from Hebrew’s nominal style to a finite future construction to preserve clarity and reflect the assured divine action.
