כִּי֩ כֹ֨ה אָמַ֜ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֗ה אַ֣ף כִּֽי־אַרְבַּ֣עַת שְׁפָטַ֣י ׀ הָרָעִ֡ים חֶ֠רֶב וְרָעָ֞ב וְחַיָּ֤ה רָעָה֙ וָדֶ֔בֶר שִׁלַּ֖חְתִּי אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לְהַכְרִ֥ית מִמֶּ֖נָּה אָדָ֥ם וּבְהֵמָֽה׃
因為主永恆者如此說：何況我使我那四樣嚴厲的懲罰，就是刀劍、饑荒、惡獸和瘟疫，臨到耶路撒冷，要將人和牲畜從其中剪除呢！
Rashi
How much more Heb. אֲף כִּי, an expression of an a fortiori and ‘how much more so.’ It is the same throughout Scripture, like (I Sam. 23:3): “Behold we are afraid here in Judah; how much more so (אֲף כִּי) if we go to Keilah...?” Likewise, in this chapter (15:5): “Behold when it was whole, it could not be used for work; how much less (אֲף כִּי) when fire has consumed it, etc.?”
