Exegesis
The verse opens with the negative particle al {אַל־ | ʾal} ‘do not,’ followed by a sequence of second person verb forms conveying urgent petitions: tinʿaṣ {תִּנְאַץ֙ | tin-ʿaṣ} ‘reject,’ tenabbel {תְּנַבֵּ֖ל | tē-nab-běl} ‘dishonor,’ and zakhor {זְכֹר֙ | zə-khor} ‘remember.’ The repeated al with imperfect and imperative verbs forms parallelism that intensifies the plea.
In context — Jeremiah 14:21
Do not reject us for the sake of Your name, do not disgrace the throne of Your glory; remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
