“‘There you shall remember
Your ways.
There you shall remember
All the deeds
By which
You have polluted yourselves.
You shall loathe yourselves
For all the evils
That you have committed.
You shall know
That I am Yahweh,
When I deal
With you
For my name’s sake.
I will deal with you
Not according
To your evil ways,
Not according
To your corrupt doings.
O house of Israel!’
Says Yahweh God.”
Yahweh told the house of Israel that they should remember their evil ways and wicked deeds. They had polluted themselves. Now they should loathe themselves for all the evils that they had committed. They should know that it was Yahweh that they were dealing with. Because of the name of Yahweh, Yahweh was going to deal with them, but not according to their evil ways or their corrupt activities.
