Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki-avi aleihem raah {כִּי־אָבִיא עֲלֵיהֶם רָעָה | kî-ʾā-vîʾ ʿă-lê-hem rā-ʿāh} ties divine initiative directly to the calamity.
In context — Jeremiah 23:12
Therefore their way will be to them like a slick path in the darkness; they will be driven on and will fall there, for I will bring calamity upon them—the year of their visitation , declares the LORD .
