Exegesis
Two jussive negatives, al-tekhaper {אַל־תְּכַפֵּר | ʾal-tə-kap-pēr} and al-timcheh {אַל־תֶּמְחִי | ʾal-tə-mə-ḥî}, forbid divine pardon or erasure.
In context — Jeremiah 18:23
But You, LORD , know all their designs against me for death; do not forgive their iniquity and do not blot out their sin from before You. Let them be overthrown before You; at the time of Your wrath, bring judgment upon them.
