Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect lōʾ-etēn khanīnāh {לֹא־אֶתֵּ֥ן חֲנִינָֽה | lōʾ-et-ṭēn ḥă-nî-nāh} ‘I will not grant favor’ serves as a consequence clause, underscoring the withdrawal of divine compassion. The translations capture the forceful causation of the Hiphil and the service/worship distinction of ʿābad across the styles.
In context — Jeremiah 16:13
And I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will not grant you favor .
