Exegesis
The apodosis employs the Hiphil perfect ve-hitzati {וְהִצַּתִּי | wə-hiṣ-ṣā-tî} “I will kindle” to signal divine agency, followed by the Qal perfect ve-okhlah {וְאָכְלָה | wə-’ā-ḵə-lāh} “it will consume” and the Qal imperfect ve-lo tikhbeh {וְלֹא תִכְבֶּה | wə-lō tiḵ-béh} “and it will not be quenched,” underscoring the certainty and enduring scope of the judgment.
In context — Jeremiah 17:27
But if you do not listen to Me to sanctify the Sabbath day and do not carry a burden or enter through the gates of Jerusalem on that day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.
