And your fugitives will remember me among the nations to which they were taken captive, that I was shattered by their adulterous heart[d] which departed from me, and by their adulterous eyes[e] which went after their idols, and they will feel loathing for themselves,[f] for the evil that they did, for all of their detestable things. 10 And they will know that I am Yahweh; not in vain[g] I spoke to bring to them this evil.”’
