Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction wə-gam {וְגַם־ | wə-gam} coupled with bə-zōt {בְּזֹאת | bə-zōt} signals a summative intensification, leading to the emphatic negation lōʾ šā-ḇāʿat {לֹא שָׂבָֽעַתְּ | lōʾ šā-ḇāʿat}, which underscores the unending dissatisfaction born of spiritual unfaithfulness.

s-b-ʿsin–bet–ayin

And you multiplied your fornication to Canaan, the land of trade , to Chaldea; and even with this you were not satisfied.
