Exegesis
The causal clause introduced by ki {כִּי | kî} links the reason in ha-massa yihyeh le-ish devaro {הַמַּשָּׂא יִֽהְיֶה לְאִישׁ דְּבָר֔וֹ | ha-mas-ṣāʾ yi-hyēh lə-ʼîš də-var-ō}, where yihyeh expresses future certainty and le-ish devaro functions as an ethical dative marking personal appropriation.
In context — Jeremiah 23:36
And the oracle of the LORD you shall not mention again, for the oracle will become each man’s own word; for you have perverted the words of the living God , the LORD of hosts , our God .
