Exegesis
A second leʾemor {לֵאמֹר | lēʾemor} introduces the deceptive assurance lo tinaten {לֹא תִנָּתֵן | lōʾ tinnātēn} ‘will not be given’ Yerushalayim {יְרוּשָׁלִַם | yərūšālayim} be-yad melek Ashur {בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר | bə-yad mēleḵ ʾāšûr}. The nifal imperfect tinaten frames Jerusalem as the passive recipient of the king of Assyria’s grant, preserving the warning structure and the hierarchy of speaker, agent, and cited assertion.
In context — 2 Kings 19:10
Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, “Do not let your God whom you are trusting deceive you by saying, ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’”
