Exegesis
The paired negatives lo-tir'u {לֹא־תִרְאוּ | lō-tir-ʾû} and lo-yiheyeh {לֹא־יִהְיֶה | lō-yi-hyeh} form a parallel promise structure, heightening irony.
In context — Jeremiah 14:13
And I said, “Ah, Lord GOD , behold, the prophets are saying to them, ‘You will not see the sword, and famine will not be for you, but assured peace I will give you in this place.’”
