Exegesis
Finally, the negative lo {לֹא | lōʾ} combines with the Niphal imperfect tikkaret {תִכָּרֵת | tik-krēṯ} to express passive negation, stressing that hope will not be severed. The structure yields a tightly bound couplet typical of Hebrew wisdom poetry, uniting certainty of future with enduring expectation.
