I will attend to
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect conjugation, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 1st person singular expresses a simple, active future action by the speaker. "I will attend to" preserves the root sense of actively turning attention toward someone or something, allowing for oversight, reckoning, appointment, or intervention without narrowing it to punishment alone. |
