Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’ introduces an explanatory clause in which heidad {הֵידָד | hêy-yā-dâd} ‘shout’ governed by nafal {נָפָל | nā-pâl} ‘has fallen’ forms the predicate.
In context — Isaiah 16:9
Therefore I will weep with Jazer’s lament for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, for the shout over your summer fruit and your harvest has fallen.
