Exegesis
The phrase alhatovah {עַל־הַטּוֹבָ֔ה | ʿal-haṭ-ṭō-ḇāh} ‘concerning the good’ introduces a relative clause with asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾă-šer} ‘that,’ followed by amarti {אָמַ֖רְתִּי | ʾā-mar-tî} ‘I said’ and the Hiphil infinitive lehetiv {לְהֵיטִ֥יב | lə-hê-ṭîḇ} ‘to do good’ + oto {אוֹתֽוֹ | ʾō-ṯō} ‘it.’ This protasis–apodosis structure reflects covenantal causality whereby disobedience triggers divine withdrawal of the promised benefit.
In context — Jeremiah 18:10
If it does evil in My eyes and will not listen to My voice, then I will relent concerning the good that I said I would do for it.
