Exegesis
The adverb od {ע֗וֹד | ʿōḏ} precedes to stress discontinuation, and the locative be-Yisrael {בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל | bə-yis-rā-ʾēl} specifies the audience. English reorders these elements to present the oath, divine speech, and prohibition coherently.
In context — Ezekiel 18:3
“As I live, declares the Lord GOD , if this proverb will still be used by you in Israel.”
