Exegesis
The verse opens with velo {וְלֹא | wə-lōʾ} ‘and not’ joined to the imperfect yishʿeh {יִשְׁעֶה | yišʿêh} ‘regard’ to form a negative refusal construction.
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 .
