Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for/because’ provides the rationale in a following causal clause: kashalta {כָשַׁלְתָּ | kāšaltā} ‘you stumbled’ is completed-action perfect, and baʿavonekha {בַּעֲוֹנֶךָ | baʿăwōneḵā} ‘in your iniquity’ expresses the sphere/cause in which the stumbling occurred. English renders the fronted imperative with a direct command, then retains the explanatory ki-clause to preserve the prophetic logic: return, because the fall has come from sin.
In context — Hosea 14:1
Turn back, O Israel, to the LORD your God , for you have stumbled in your iniquity .
