Definition: 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.

Explanation: Okay, let's break down this verse from Ezekiel 6:9. It’s a pretty complex passage, but we can understand it as a warning about the consequences of sin. Here’s a simplified explanation: The Basic Idea: This verse is saying that people who are escaping (leaving) with you – specifically, those who are not fully committed to God – will be brought into a state of shame and regret because they've strayed from the truth and have become obsessed with false idols. Let’s unpack it word by word: “And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives.” This means those who are leaving with you will remember (think of it as recalling) God. They'll be brought to a place where they’re treated as outsiders, perhaps even held captive – like being punished or restricted for their wrongdoings. This is a consequence of their choices. “because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols:” This is the core of the warning. "Whorish heart" : This refers to a heart filled with false beliefs and desires – like being obsessed with something other than God. It's a heart that’s driven by earthly things rather than spiritual truth. “departed from me” : This means they are no longer fully devoted to God and have lost their connection with Him. They've turned away from the divine. "eyes, which go a whoring after their idols:" This is the most important part. "Idols" here refers to false gods, or idols – things that are made by human hands instead of God. They’re obsessed with these idols and worship them instead of Him. Their eyes are focused on these false idols, leading them astray from the true path. “and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.” This means that when they are brought to this place – facing punishment or judgment – they will feel deeply ashamed and remorseful for their wrongdoings. "Abominations" refers to things that are morally wrong and offensive to God. In simpler terms: “If you're leaving with us, you’ll be remembered as people who have lost your way and are obsessed with false gods. They will feel deeply guilty for the terrible things they've done because they’ve strayed from God’s truth.” Overall Message: This verse is a serious warning about the importance of remaining faithful to God and resisting temptation. It emphasizes that true loyalty and devotion lie in focusing on Him, not on anything else. --- Do you want me to: Explain any part of this passage in more detail?
