Exegesis
This verse features three conditional clauses introduced by ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for/when’, first expressing divine refusal and then shifting to adversative judgment.
In context — Jeremiah 14:12
For when they fast, I do not listen to their cry; and when they offer a burnt offering and grain offering , I do not accept them. For by the sword and by famine and by pestilence, I consume them.
