Ezekiel 6:9

7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

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.

10 And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.

And your⁺ escapees will remember Me in the nations to which they are carried captive there, how I was broken by their prostituting heart that turned away from Me, and by their eyes seeking prostitution after their idols; and they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they did by all their abominations.
ÅB
Og de av dere som slipper unna, skal komme meg i hu blant folkene, hvor de er i fangenskap, når jeg har knust deres utro hjerter som var veket fra meg, og deres øyne som i utroskap fulgte deres motbydelige avguder; og de skal vemmes ved seg selv for de onde gjerningers skyld som de har gjort - for alle sine styggedommer,
OTB
Da, blant nasjonene hvor de er blitt tatt til fange, vil de som unnslipper huske meg—hvordan jeg ble bedrøvet av deres utro hjerter som vendte seg bort fra meg, og av deres øyne som begjærte deres avguder. De vil avsky seg selv for det onde de har gjort og for alle deres avskyelige handlinger.
B1930
Og de av eder som slipper unda, skal komme mig i hu blandt folkene, hvor de er i fangenskap, når jeg har knust deres utro hjerter som var veket fra mig, og deres øine som i utroskap fulgte deres motbydelige avguder; og de skal vemmes ved sig selv for de onde gjerningers skyld som de har gjort - for alle sine vederstyggeligheter,
