Exegesis

The second coordinate clause ve-tikvatekha lo tikkaret {וְתִקְוָתְךָ לֹא תִכָּרֵת | wǝ-ti-qə-wā-ṯə-ḵā lōʾ ṯi-qā-rēṯ} ‘and your hope will not be cut off’ uses the Niphal imperfect to convey ongoing preservation. The repeated vav conjunctions create parallelism that reinforces the promise, and the conditional-parallel structure contrasts potential loss with steadfast assurance. In translation, the Hebrew coordination and particles are mirrored in English to preserve logical flow and rhetorical emphasis.
