Exegesis
The adversative af ki-arbaʿat {אַף כִּֽי־אַרְבַּעַת | ʾaf kî-ʾar-baʿ-at} serves as a comparative intensifier ‘how much more when four of.’
In context — Ezekiel 14:21
For thus says the Lord GOD : How much more when I send My four severe judgments—sword, famine, wild beast, and pestilence—to cut off from Jerusalem man and animal.
