Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces a parallel judicial indictment of artsekha {אַרְצְךָ | ʾarṣəḵā} ‘your land’ with the Piel perfect shikhatta {שִׁחַתָּ | šīḥattā} ‘you have destroyed’, and ammekha {עַמְּךָ | ʿammeḵā} ‘your people’ with the Qal perfect haragtta {הָרָגְתָּ | hāragttā} ‘you have slain’.
In context — Isaiah 14:20
You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have ruined your land and slaughtered your people; the seed of evildoers will never be named for ever.
