Exegesis
The construct noun mishpatai {מִשְׁפָּטַי | mišpāṭāy} ‘my judgments’ bears a first person singular suffix marking divine ownership, immediately followed by the Qal perfect lo-asu {לֹא־עָשׂוּ | lō-ʿāśû} ‘they did not’, which denotes completed refusal.
In context — Ezekiel 20:24
Because they did not carry out my judgments and despised my statutes , profaned my Sabbaths, and set their eyes on the idols of their fathers.
