Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces the causal clause me’et nevi’ei Yerushalayim yatzah chanupah {מֵאֵת נְבִיאֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם יָצְאָה חֲנֻפָּה | mê-ʾēt nə-ḇīʾê Yə-rū-šā-lā-yim yā-ṣʾāh ḥă-nu-pāh}, indicating that profaneness has spread, and the phrase l’khol ha’arets {לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ | lə-ḵōl hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘to all the land’ defines its extent.
In context — Jeremiah 23:15
Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will give them wormwood for food and make them drink waters of poison, for from the prophets of Jerusalem profaneness has gone out to all the land.
