Exegesis
The clause uses the negator lo {לֹ֤א | lōʾ} plus kara {קָרָ֤א | qā-rāʾ} ‘call’ to deny the name Pashhur, and the adversative conjunction ki im {כִּ֖י אִם־ | kî ʾim} ‘but rather’ sets up the divine renaming by YHWH {יְהוָה֙ | Yəhōwā́h}, who assigns magor-missaviv {מָגוֹר מִסָּבִֽיב | mā-gôr mis-sā-ḇîv} ‘terror on every side.’
In context — Jeremiah 20:3
And it came to pass on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but rather Magor-Missaviv ."
