Exegesis
The coordinated negative velo yirʾeh {וְלֹא יִרְאֶה | wə-lōʾ yirʾeh} ‘and he will not see’ links to the imperfect clause ki yavo tov {כִּי יָבוֹא טוֹב | kî yābōʾ ṭōv} ‘when good comes’, indicating inability to perceive blessing.
In context — Jeremiah 17:6
And he will be like a shrub in the desert, and he will not see when good comes; and he will dwell in parched places in the wilderness, a land of salt that is not inhabited.
