Exegesis
The paired subordinators kî {כִֽי־ | kî} establish a temporal sequence with the Nifal perfect nir’āh {נִרְאָ֛ה | nir’āh} ‘it is seen’ followed by a causal setting with nil’āh {נִלְאָ֥ה | nil’āh} ‘he becomes weary’.
In context — Isaiah 16:12
And it shall be, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place , that he will come to his sanctuary to pray, but he will not prevail.
