Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lō’} before the Qal perfect avitem {אֲבִיתֶֽם | ’ăḇîṯem} enforces an emphatic denial, underscoring the hearers’ decisive rejection. English mirrors the Hebrew’s direct coordination and parallel structure by using “and” and preserving clause order.
In context — Proverbs 1:25
But you have ignored all my counsel , and were not willing to accept my reproof .
