Exegesis
The conjunction velo {וְלֹא | wə-lō} plus imperfect ekas {אֶכְעַס | ʾeḵ-‘as} and adverb od {עוֹד | ‘ôḏ} forms a prohibitive future negation, emphasizing that anger will not return. The perfect-imperfect sequence frames a completed action with enduring effect, creating a chiasmic emphasis on the permanence of divine reprieve.
In context — Ezekiel 16:42
And I will cause my wrath to rest upon you, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet and will not be angry again.
