Exegesis
The imperfect yishmeu {יִשְׁמָעוּ | yiš-mā-ʿû} ‘they listen’ indicates habitual action, which is then contrasted by veatah {וְאַתָּה | wə-ʾă-tâ} ‘but you’ to shift focus.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:14
For these nations, which you will dispossess, listen to soothsayers and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.
