Exegesis
The series leraʿah {לְרָעָה | lə-rāʿāh} ‘for harm’ contrasted with velo letovah {וְלֹא לְטוֹבָה | wə-lōʾ lə-ṭōḇāh} ‘and not for good’ establishes the destructive purpose.
In context — Jeremiah 21:10
For I have set My face against this city for harm and not for good, declares the LORD ; it will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and it will be consumed by fire.
