Exegesis
The conditional ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the hypothetical scenario where eretz {אֶרֶץ | ʾe-reṣ} ‘land’ is personified.
In context — Ezekiel 14:13
Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it and break its staff of bread , and send famine into it, and cut off from it both man and beast.
