Exegesis
The conditional im {אִם־ | im} ‘if’ introduces a protasis with keli {כְּלִי | ke-lî} ‘vessel’, negated by ein {אֵ֥ן | ’ên} ‘there is not’ before chefets {חֵ֖פֶץ | ḥê-p̄eṣ} ‘delight’ governed by bo {בּ֑וֹ | bō} ‘in him’.
Root and etymology
ח־פ־ץ
“delight, desire”
In context — Jeremiah 22:28
Is this man Coniah a despised, broken pot, or a vessel in which there is no delight? Why have they—he and his offspring —been cast out and thrown upon a land which they did not know?
