Exegesis
The inferential phrase al-ken {עַל־כֵּ֝֗ן | ʿal-kēn} ‘therefore’ introduces the result clause, and the sequence lo {לֹ֣א | lōʾ} + teromem {תְרֹמֵֽם | tərōmēm} ‘you will not exalt’ expresses a definitive negated future, denying public elevation. English retains the cause-and-result linkage by pairing “For”/“Since” with “therefore.”
In context — Job 17:4
For You have hidden their heart from understanding ; therefore You will not exalt them.
