Exegesis
The negative existential ein {אֵין | ʾên} ‘there is not’ plus nafshi {נַפְשִׁי | naf-šī} ‘soul’ underscores divine refusal toward el-ha’am hazzeh {אֶל־הָעָם הַזֶּה | ʾel-hā-ʿām haz-zēh} ‘this people’.
In context — Jeremiah 15:1
And the LORD said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people; send them away from My face, and let them go out.”
