Exegesis
The verse opens with the causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for,’ linking this clause to the preceding context.
The second ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the result clause, where lo-hayah {לֹא־הָיָה | lō-hāyāh} ‘there was not’ predicates the absence of deshe {דֶּשֶׁא | dešeʾ} ‘grass,’ explaining the cause of abandonment.
In context — Jeremiah 14:5
For even the hind in the field gave birth and forsook her young, because there was no grass .
