Exegesis

Causal ki {כִּי־ | kî} introduces male’ah ha-arets chamas {מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ חָמָס | māl-ʾāh hā-ʾā-reṣ ḥā-mās} ‘for the earth has been filled with violence’, where fronting ha-arets stresses the scope of corruption.

In context — Genesis 6:13

And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh is before Me, because the earth is filled with violence through them; and now I am going to destroy them along with the earth.”
