Exegesis
Each verb is linked to a prepositional phrase—bimšīḥāy {בִּמְשִׁיחָי | bimšīḥāy} ‘in my anointed ones’ and ūbənəḇîʾāy {וּבִנְבִיאַי | ūbənəḇîʾāy} ‘and in my prophets’—where the nouns in construct state with a first person singular suffix underscore divine possession. The vav-conjunction ū- plus preposition marks the parallel second object, stressing that both groups share equal protection. The English maintains the Hebrew word order and parallel negation to preserve the force of God’s safeguarding.
