Exegesis
The second negation lo yirʾeh {לֹא יִרְאֶה | lōʾ yirʾeh} ‘will not see’ intensifies the rejection before enumerating veha-asherim {וְהָאֲשֵׁרִים | we-hā-ʾăšerim} ‘the Asherah poles’ and veha-chammanim {וְהָחַמָּנִים | we-hā-ḥammānim} ‘the sun-pillars.’ Parallel negatives and relative clauses underscore a comprehensive denial of human-crafted religious symbols.
In context — Isaiah 17:8
He will not pay attention to the altars, the work of his hands and that which his fingers have made; he will not look at the Asherim or the sun-pillars .
