Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} with the imperfect verb tikhbeh {תִכְבֶּה | tiḵ-beh} asserts the fire’s irrevocable nature. This structure links consequence, divine agency, and unquenchable result.
In context — Ezekiel 20:48
And all flesh shall see that I, the LORD , have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.
