Exegesis

The negative particle lo {לֹא | lō} combined with ratzam {רָצָם | rā-ṣām} ‘he accepts them’ highlights divine rejection, with YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} as the implied subject.

In contextHosea 8:13

They sacrifice the sacrifices of my offerings and eat flesh, but the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and will attend to their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
