Exegesis
The infinitive la'asot {לַעֲשׂוֹת | la-ʿă-śōṯ} introduces the withheld act of mercy, and a series of prepositional phrases (for-you {לָךְ | lāḵ}, of-these {מֵאֵלֶּה | mē-ʾêlleh}, for-compassion {לְחֻמְלָה | lə-ḥum-lāh}, upon-you {עָלָיִךְ | ʿā-layiḵ}) intensifies the imagery of refusal.
In context — Ezekiel 16:5
No eye pitied you to do for you one of these things in compassion; but you were thrown into the open field, because you were loathed on the day you were born.
