Exegesis
A second ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} clause states the reason: gadlah {גָּדְלָ֤ה | gā-ḏā-lāh} “has become great” describes the intensified state of tsaakatam {צַעֲקָתָם֙ | ṣa-ʿă-qā-ṯām} “their outcry,” which stands in construct with et-penei YHWH {אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה | ʾeṯ pə-nê Yə-hō-wāh}, an idiomatic expression for “before the presence of the LORD.”
Root and etymology
צ־ע־ק

In context — Genesis 19:13
For we are destroying this place, because their outcry has become great before the presence of the LORD ; therefore the LORD has sent us to destroy it.
