Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} introduces the Piel perfect mille-a-ta-ni {מִלֵּאתָֽנִי | mille’-ā-ṯā-nî} ‘you have filled me with indignation,’ indicating completed divine action. Repetition and parallelism underscore the prophet’s separation under YHWH’s chastening hand.

In context — Jeremiah 15:17
I did not sit in the assembly of those who joke and celebrate , nor did I rejoice; because of your hand, I sat alone, for you have filled me with indignation.
