Exegesis
The passive niphal venitsetah {וְנִצְּתָ֧ה | wəninṣəṭāh} with chamati {חֲמָתִ֛י | ḥămātî} “my wrath has been kindled” highlights divine action, and the Vav-Qal imperfect velo tikhbeh {וְלֹ֥א תִכְבֶּֽה | wəlōʾ ṭiḵbēh} underscores the enduring nature of this judgment against the place.
In context — 2 Kings 22:17
Because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods to provoke Me by every deed of their hands, My wrath has ignited against this place and will never be extinguished.
