Exegesis
The preposition be-terem {בְּטֶרֶם | bə-ṭer-em} ‘before’ with boqer {בֹּקֶר | bō-ḳer} ‘morning’ marks a swift transition, reinforced by einennu {אֵינֶנּוּ | ʾê-ne-nû} ‘he is not’, indicating complete cessation.
In context — Isaiah 17:14
At the time of evening, behold terror ; before morning, it is no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
