Exegesis
Finally, the contrast between yashuvu hemmah elekha {יָשֻׁבוּ הֵמָּה אֵלֶיךָ | yā-šū-ḇû hēm-māh ʾê-le-kha} “they will return to you” and ve-attah lo-tashuv aleihem {וְאַתָּה לֹא־תָשֻׁב אֲלֵיהֶם | wə-ʾat-tā lō-ta-šū-ḇ ʾă-lê-hem} “and you shall not return to them” underscores the prophet’s separation and authority.
In context — Jeremiah 15:19
Therefore thus says the LORD : If you return, then I will restore you, and you will stand before Me. And if you extract the precious from the worthless, you will be like My mouth. They will return to you, but you shall not return to them.
