Exegesis
The closing consequence shifts from commands to outcome using lōʾ + imperfect (lo-tavo {לֹא־תָבוֹא | lō-tā-ḇōʾ}), with the verb placed before the subject nivlatekha {נִבְלָתְךָ | niḇ-lāṯ-ḵā} ‘your corpse’, spotlighting the denial of burial.
In context — 1 Kings 13:22
But you returned and ate bread and drank water in the place where He spoke to you, “Do not eat bread, and do not drink water.” Your corpse will not come to the grave of your fathers.
