Exegesis
The verse opens with ve-al-tîhîyû {וְאַל־תִּֽהְי֗וּ | wə-ʾal-tîhîyû} “do not be,” where the prefixed vav plus the negative particle al prohibits the verb in the qal imperfect second person masculine plural.
In context — 2 Chronicles 30:7
Do not be like your fathers or your brothers who trespassed against the LORD , the God of their fathers, and He gave them over to desolation , just as you are seeing.
