Exegesis
The verse begins with the causal conjunction ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} ‘for/because’, followed by the prophetic formula khoh amar YHWH {כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה | kō ʾā-mar Yə-hō-wāh} ‘thus says the LORD’.
In context — Jeremiah 16:5
For thus says the LORD : Do not enter the house of mourning, and do not go to lament, and do not bemoan them, for I have withdrawn My peace from this people, declares the LORD—even lovingkindness and compassion .
