Exegesis
The conjunction weda‘at {וְדַעַת | wəda‘aṯ} introduces the construct da‘at dərākêḵā {דַעַת דְּרָכֶיךָ | da‘at dərākêḵā} “knowledge of Your ways,” which functions as the object of the negated perfect ḥāpāṣənû {חָפָצְנוּ | ḥāpāṣənû}, preserving Hebrew word order to underscore settled unwillingness.
In context — Job 21:14
Yet they say to God , “Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.”
