Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause explaining the threat posed by nevukhadretzar {נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר | nǝ-ḇû-ḵaḏ-rěʾ-ṣar} melekh-bavel {מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל | me-lekh-Bā-ḇel}, nilcham {נִלְחָם | nil-ḥām} ‘is waging war’ against us.
In context — Jeremiah 21:2
Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, because Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon is waging war against us; perhaps He will act on our behalf according to all His wonders, and cause him to withdraw from us.
