had finished
To bring to completion or fulfillment; to finish, come to an end, or consume. The root כָּלָה expresses the reaching or accomplishing of a limit or an intended purpose, and hence also ending, ceasing, or perishing. Intransitively, it refers to being completed, finished, or exhausted; transitively, to completing, bringing to an end, consuming, or destroying. It can also carry the sense of longing or pining away, as of a soul reaching its limit. The word's semantic range thus includes both neutral senses of completion and negative senses of complete destruction or consumption.

I will bring to completion
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/causative-active), imperfect, 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives an intensive, active sense of bringing something fully to its limit or end. The imperfect 1st person singular is rendered as "I will," preserving both the verbal force and the speaker’s singular agency. |
