Study note
Setting — God addresses the recipient of the oracle immediately after promising to restore her sister cities, following a detailed recounting of her past shame.
The words — וַהֲקִימוֹתִי (ha.ki.mo.Ti) translates to "I will establish," and יָדַעַתְּ (ya.Da.'at) translates to "you will know." These verbs anchor the verse's declaration that God will uphold His covenant and grant recognition of His identity.
The thread — The recognition formula "you will know that I am the LORD" appears in Ezekiel 6:7 and Jeremiah 24:7, linking divine action with the knowledge of Yahweh.
Why it lands — The text demands acknowledgment that covenant restoration is initiated by God alone, requiring the reader to recognize divine agency over human merit.
