Exegesis
The infinitive absolute hayoh {הָיֹה | hā-yô} with imperfect tihyeh {תִהְיֶה | ti-hyêh} intensifies the negation lo {לֹא | lōʾ}, creating a forceful “will certainly not be.”
In context — Ezekiel 20:32
And the thought that has arisen in your minds will not come to pass—that which you are saying: “We will be like the nations, like the clans of the lands, to serve wood and stone.”
