Exegesis
The jussive imperfect yavoh {יָבֹוא | yā-ḇōʾ} ‘let it come’ expresses desire, and the emphatic particle na {נָֽא | nāʾ} intensifies the entreaty. The combination of a participial clause with a forceful jussive clause creates a tense rhetorical question, highlighting the prophet’s frustration with the absence of God’s promise.
In context — Jeremiah 17:15
Behold, they are saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD ? Let it come now !”
