Exegesis
The Hitpael perfect lo-hittawetti {לֹא הִתְאַוֵּיתִי | lōʾ hittāwêttî} ‘I did not desire’ intensifies the rejection of that judgment.
In context — Jeremiah 17:16
But as for me, I did not hasten away from shepherding to follow You , and I did not desire the woeful day; You know it—whatever issued from my lips was before Your face .
