Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֛י | kî} introduces the ground for these benefits: shav appi {שָׁ֥ב אַפִּ֖י | šāḇ ʾap-pî} ‘My anger has turned’ forms a compact clause whose verb precedes its subject for brisk, decisive effect, and mimennu {מִמֶּֽנּוּ | mim-men-nû} ‘from him’ uses a singular pronominal object to treat Israel as a corporate individual. English renders the Hebrew parataxis with coordinated clauses and a clear causal “because,” preserving the tight rhythm of promise, promise, reason.
In context — Hosea 14:4
I will heal their backslidings ; I will love them freely, because My anger has turned away from him.
