Exegesis
The verse opens with the conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for indeed’ introducing a causal clause.
The particle gam {גַם | gam} ‘also’ repeats for emphasis, linking the nouns navi {נָבִיא | nā-ḇîʾ} ‘prophet’ and kohen {כֹּהֵן | kō-hēn} ‘priest’ and underlining their joint guilt.
Root and etymology
n-b-ʾnun–bet–aleph

In context — Jeremiah 23:11
For both the prophet and the priest have acted corruptly ; even in my house I have found their evil, declares the LORD .
