Exegesis
The relative clause asher lo tziviti ve-lo dibarti ve-lo alta al-libi {אֲשֶׁר לֹא־צִוִּיתִי וְלֹא דִבַּרְתִּי וְלֹא עָלְתָה עַל־לִבִּי} features a threefold perfect negation that underscores absolute divine rejection, rendered formally with successive nor phrases and dynamically with emphatic negative repeats.
In context — Jeremiah 19:5
And they built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command , nor did I speak, nor did it enter my heart.
