Exegesis
The phrase bə-ʿad hā-ʿām haz-zeh {בְּעַד־הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה | bə-ʿad hā-ʿām haz-zeh} ‘for this people’ and the infinitival lə-ṭō-ḇāh {לְטוֹבָה | lə-ṭō-ḇāh} ‘for good’ specify the target and intended benefit of the forbidden intercession. The clause structure underscores the reversal of expected intercession in the context of impending judgment.
In context — Jeremiah 14:11
And the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for this people for their good .”
