Exegesis
The preposition al {עַל | ʿal} marks the subject matter (“contents of the book”), while the causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the reason: khamat YHWH {חֲמַת־יְהוָה | ḥă·mâṯ-Yĕhōwāh} is “wrath of the LORD,” nittekha {נִתְּכָה | nit·tᵊ·ḵā} ‘has been poured out’ banu {בָּנוּ | bānū} ‘upon us’.

In context — 2 Chronicles 34:21
Go, inquire of the LORD on my behalf and on behalf of the remnant in Israel and Judah regarding the contents of the book that was discovered, for the LORD’s wrath is great and has been poured out on us, because our fathers did not guard the word of the LORD by doing everything written in this book.
