Exegesis
The verse begins with an emphatic question formed by the infinitive absolute hamaos {הֲמָאֹס | ha-māʾōs} ‘utterly reject’ paired with the Qal perfect maasta {מָאַסְתָּ | māʼasta} ‘you have rejected’, intensifying the address to YHWH.
Root and etymology
Rootmem–aleph–samekh
“to reject, despise”
In context — Jeremiah 14:19
Have You utterly rejected Judah, or has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You struck us so that there is no healing for us? We hoped for peace, but there is no good; and for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
