Exegesis
The fronted attah {אַתָּ֔ה | ʾattā} ‘you’ is emphatic, and the sequence lo {לֹ֥א | lō} ‘not’ + tivneh {תִבְנֶ֖ה | tivneh} ‘you will build’ forms a direct denial focused on the addressee.
In context — 2 Chronicles 6:9
Only you will not build the house, because your son who comes out from your loins, he will build the house for My name.
