Exegesis
The iterative Qal imperfect verbs yāṣûmū {יָצֻמוּ | yāṣûmū} ‘they fast’ and yaʿălû {יַעֲלוּ | yaʿălû} ‘they offer’, together with the Qal participles šōmēaʿ {שֹׁמֵעַ | šōmēaʿ} ‘listening’ and rōṣām {רֹצָם | rōṣām} ‘accepting’, convey ongoing ritual actions met by the negation particle ʾênēnnî {אֵינֶנִּי | ʾênēnnî} ‘I do not’ placed before each predicate to emphasize refusal.
In context — Jeremiah 14:12
For when they fast, I do not listen to their cry; and when they offer a burnt offering and grain offering , I do not accept them. For by the sword and by famine and by pestilence, I consume them.
