Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ opens the verse, linking it to the land’s moral state.
In context — Jeremiah 23:10
For the land is filled with adulterers; because of the curse the land grieves, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their path is evil, and their strength is not right.
