Exegesis

The existential sequence ve-ein lanu {וְאֵין לָנוּ | wəʾēn lānu} ‘and there is not for us’ frames marpe {מַרְפֵּא | mārpē} ‘healing’ as the expected result.

Next, the imperative kave leshalom {קַוֵּה לְשָׁלוֹם | qawwē ləšālōm} ‘hope for peace’ is mirrored by another existential clause ve-ein tov {וְאֵין טוֹב | wəʾēn ṭôv} ‘and there is no good’.
