Exegesis
The negative existential einennu {אֵינֶנּוּ | ʾênennu} ‘he does not’ paired with shomea {שֹׁמֵעַ | šômeʿa} ‘listening’ underscores persistent disobedience.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:18
If a man has a son who is stubborn and rebellious, who does not listen to the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and when they discipline him, he still does not listen to them.
