Exegesis

In the second clause, kol-tsidqotav {כָּל־צִדְקֹתָ֤יו | kol-ṣid-qō-ṯāw} “all his righteous deeds” asher-asa {אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה֙ | ʾă-šer ʿā-śāh} “which he has done” is negated by lo {לֹ֣א | lōʾ} “not” and tizakarnah {תִזָּכַרְנָה | tiz-zā-kar-nāh} “they shall be remembered” in the Nifal imperfect to emphasize divine non-acknowledgment.
