Exegesis
The verse begins with the emphatic negation lo {לֹא־ | lō} ‘not’ followed by the perfect ya-shav-ti {יָשַׁ֥בְתִּי | yā-šav-tî} ‘I sat,’ forming a strong denial.
In context — Jeremiah 15:17
I did not sit in the assembly of those who joke and celebrate , nor did I rejoice; because of your hand, I sat alone, for you have filled me with indignation.
