This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
they that escape of you shall remember me - The object of God’s chastisements shall at last be effected by working in them true contrition. This partially took place in the complete eradication of idolatry from the Jews ever since the Babylonian captivity. But they have yet to repent of their crowning sin, the crucifixion of Messiah; their full repentance is therefore future, after the ordeal of trials for many centuries, ending with that foretold in Zec 10:9; Zec 13:8, Zec 13:9; Zec 14:1-4, Zec 14:11. “They shall remember me in far countries” (Eze 7:16; Deu 30:1-8).
I am broken with their whorish heart - Fairbairn translates, actively, “I will break” their whorish heart; English Version is better. In their exile they shall remember how long I bore with them, but was at last compelled to punish, after I was “broken” (My long-suffering wearied out) by their desperate (Num 15:39) spiritual whorishness [Calvin], (Psa 78:40; Isa 7:13; Isa 43:24; Isa 63:10).
loathe themselves - (Lev 26:39-45; Job 42:6). They shall not wait for men to condemn them but shall condemn themselves (Eze 20:43; Eze 36:31; Job 42:6; 1Co 11:31).
