Exegesis

The construct phrase kə-lim-mmat ʿō-lām {כְּלִמַּת עוֹלָם | kə-lim-mmat ʿō-lām} ‘disgrace of eternity’ conveys perpetual dishonor, and the Nifal imperfect tiš-šā-kē-aḥ {תִשָּׁכֵֽחַ | tiš-šā-kē-aḥ} ‘will not be forgotten’ affirms enduring consequence. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew’s adversative, comparative, causal, and result structures while highlighting divine protection and the certainty of the pursuers’ failure.
