Exegesis
The object marker et identifies the direct object kol ha-ra’ah ha-zot {כָּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת | kōl hā-rā-ʿāh ha-zōṯ} ‘all this evil.’
The contrastive clause ve’lo chilinu {וְלֹא־חִלִּינוּ | wə-lōʾ-ḥil-lî-nû} ‘and we have not entreated’ employs the Piel for intensity, followed by et-penei YHWH Eloheinu {אֶת־פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ | ʾet-pə-nê Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hê-nû} ‘the face of the LORD our God.’
