Exegesis
The causal conjunction yaʿan ʾăšer {יַעַן אֲשֶׁר | yaʿan ʾăšer} introduces the motive for judgment, and the participle makkĭsîm {מַכְעִיסִים | makkĭsîm} highlights the provocation of divine anger.
In context — 1 Kings 14:15
And the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. And He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave to their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the river, because they made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
