Exegesis
The repeated negator ve-lo {וְלֹא | wə-lōʾ} intensifies the denial of divine reply or relief.
Dumiyyah {דֻמִּיָּה | du-miy-yāh} ‘silence’ conveys the absence of God’s voice, while li {לִי | lî} ‘to me’ underscores personal anguish. English renders the Hebrew verb–object–adjunct sequence into a natural subject–verb–object order, preserving parallelism and poetic urgency.
