Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֛י | kî} introduces a reason clause with the negated verb lohayah {לֹא־הָיָ֥ה | lōʾ-hā-yāh} ‘there was not’ governing geshem {גֶ֖שֶׁם | ge-šem} ‘rain’ and the locative baaretz {בָּאָ֑רֶץ | bā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘in the land.’
In context — Jeremiah 14:4
Because the ground is cracked and dismayed, since there was no rain in the land, the farmers were ashamed; they covered their heads.
