And they that are saved of you shall remember me amongst the nations, to which they are carried captives: because I have broken their heart that was faithless, and revolted from me: and their eyes that went a fornicating after their idols: and they shall be displeased with themselves because of the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
וְזָכְר֨וּ פְלִֽיטֵיכֶ֜ם אוֹתִ֗י בַּגּוֹיִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִשְׁבּוּ־שָׁם֒ אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִשְׁבַּ֜רְתִּי אֶת־לִבָּ֣ם הַזּוֹנֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁר־סָר֙ מֵֽעָלַ֔י וְאֵת֙ עֵֽינֵיהֶ֔ם הַזֹּנ֕וֹת אַחֲרֵ֖י גִּלּֽוּלֵיהֶ֑ם וְנָקֹ֙טּוּ֙ בִּפְנֵיהֶ֔ם אֶל־הָֽרָעוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשׂ֔וּ לְכֹ֖ל תּוֹעֲבֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
When I shatter the unfaithful hearts of those who turn away from Me, their faces will bear the marks of torment. This means that as a consequence of their transgressions, a severe disaster will befall them, dulling their hearts and causing their faces to reflect the sorrow brought on by the tribulations they will experience during the attack of their adversaries.
The remnants among you will recall Me, though they were taken into bondage. Thus, the discipline that God administers serves a purpose; it fosters repentance. Mourn for their hearts that have strayed and turned away from Me, and for their lips that have turned to immorality through their actions, for they shall lament for the wrongs they have committed in all their abominations. They shall recognize that I, the Lord, did not instruct them to engage in such evil deeds. They will wholeheartedly repent for abandoning Me and for their affection for the worship of idols, which I liken to immorality. They will come to understand that the punishment I imposed was neither unjust nor without purpose; for justice reveals wickedness, and in turn, benefit leads to repentance.
