Exegesis
The causal conjunction ʿal-kên {עַל־כֵּן | ʿal-kên} ‘therefore’ connects to the result clauses yiqqāšəlû {יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ | yiqqāšəlû} ‘they will stumble’ and yû-kā-lû {יוּכָּ֑לוּ | yû-kā-lû} ‘they will prevail’, both imperfect forms conveying future certainty.
In context — Jeremiah 20:11
But the LORD is with me as a mighty and terrible one; therefore my pursuers will stumble and not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they have not prospered . Their everlasting disgrace will never be forgotten.
