Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} together with the verb rabu {רַבּ֥וּ | rabbû} highlights that meshuboteinu {מְשׁוּבֹתֵ֖ינוּ | məšûḇōtênû} ‘backslidings’ have multiplied.
In context — Jeremiah 14:7
Even though our iniquities testify against us, LORD , act for the sake of Your name; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against You.
