Exegesis
The causal ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} with doubled gam {גַם־ | gam} links gam-navi {גַם־נָבִ֧יא | gam-nā-ḇîʾ} ‘prophet’ and gam-kohen {גַם־כֹּהֵ֛ן | gam-kō-hên} ‘priest’ to sacharu {סָחֲר֥וּ | sā-ḥă-rû} ‘they have gone about’ with el-eretz {אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ | ʾel-ʾe-reṣ} indicating movement through the land.

k-h-nkaf–heh–nun

In context — Jeremiah 14:18
If I go out into the field, behold the slain by the sword! And if I enter the city, behold the diseases of famine! For both the prophet and the priest roam through the land and have no understanding .
