Exegesis
The additional negation velo aleihem tihyeh {וְלֹ֣א עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם תִּֽהְיֶ֣ה | wə-lō ʿă-lê-hēm ti-hî-yêh} is rendered by withholding rain, intensifying judgment.
In context — Zechariah 14:18
And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not come, there will be no rain upon them; there shall be upon them the plague which the LORD will strike upon the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles .
