מֵֽחַטֹּ֣את נְבִיאֶ֔יהָ עֲוֺנ֖וֹת כֹּהֲנֶ֑יהָ
(Some words not found in UHB: from,the_sins_of its_prophets_of,her iniquities_of its_priests_of,her [who],shed in,midst_of,its blood_of righteous )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. The pronoun her in the phrases her prophets and her priests refers to Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [Because of the great wickedness of her religious leaders]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
