Exegesis
The waw-consecutive wa-eloz {וָֽאֶעְלֹ֑ז | wā-’ă-lōz} ‘and I rejoiced’ uses the imperfect to express resolved restraint.
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.
