Exegesis
The parallel participles kol-ozveikha {כָּל־עֹזְבֶ֖יךָ | kōl-ʿōz-ḇe-ḵā} and vesurai {וְסוּרַי֙ | wə-sū-ray} depict those who forsake You and those who turn away from Me respectively.
In context — Jeremiah 17:13
Hope of Israel, the LORD ; all who forsake You will be put to shame, and those who turn away from Me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters .
