“And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.”
Surviving exiles remember YHWH in foreign lands, achieving moral awareness of apostasy; phrase I am broken by wanton heart suggests YHWH experiences people's faithlessness with relational grief; covenant rupture wounds divine-human relationship fundamentally. Promise survivors loathe themselves indicates judgment produces repentance and moral awareness in remnant.
