Exegesis
The final clause ve-et-torati lo shamaru {וְאֶת־תּוֹרָתִי לֹא שָׁמָרוּ | wə-ʾeṯ-tō-ra-tî lōʾ šā-mā-rû} contrasts personal rejection with legal noncompliance. The translation preserves Hebrew clause order while rendering standard English word order to maintain rhetorical impact.
In context — Jeremiah 16:11
And you shall say to them, “Because your fathers have forsaken Me,” declares the LORD , “and have gone after other gods, and have served and bowed down to them; but Me they have forsaken, and My law they have not kept.”
