Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for/because’ introduces a causal clause for judgment.
The second ki {כִּי | kî} shifts to the verb ʾāšît {אָשִׁית | ʾā-šît} ‘I will set’ (Qal imperfect), indicating future divine action.
In context — Isaiah 15:9
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, yet I will bring more upon Dimon: a lion upon those who escape from Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
