Exegesis
The verse begins with the causal conjunction ki {כִּי־ | kî} ‘for/because’, introducing the basis for judgment.
In context — Hosea 13:15
For though he thrives among his brothers, an east wind—the wind of the LORD —will come up from the wilderness. It will dry up his spring , and his fountain will be parched; it will strip away every precious treasure from his storehouse.
