Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} marks the causal clause with le-ashmat YHWH {לְאַשְׁמַת יְהוָה | lə·ʾash·māt yə·hō·wāh} explaining the reason.
A second ki introduces the result clause with rabbah ashmah {רַבָּה אַשְׁמָה | rab·bāh ʾaš·māh} and the synonymous pair va-charon af {וַחֲרוֹן אָף | wa·ḥǎ·rōn ʾāp̄}, intensifying divine response centered on al-yisrael {עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל}.
In context — 2 Chronicles 28:13
And they said to them, “You shall not bring the captives here, for guilt before the LORD is upon us. You are proposing to increase our sins and our guilt, for great is the guilt upon us, and wrath and anger is upon Israel.”
