Exegesis
The final contrast is sharp: the speakers “keep” the mishmeret {מִשְׁמֶרֶת | miš-me-reṯ} ‘charge’ belonging to YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh}, while the addressees are accused with azavtem {עֲזַבְתֶּם | ʿă-zaḇ-tem} ‘you have forsaken,’ culminating in oto {אֹתוֹ | ʾō-ṯō} ‘Him’ as the personal object of abandonment.

In context — 2 Chronicles 13:11
And they make offerings go up in smoke to the LORD —burnt offerings morning by morning and evening by evening, and incense of spices—and they set an arrangement of bread on the pure table, and the gold lampstand with its lamps to keep burning evening by evening; for we are keeping the charge of the LORD our God , but you have forsaken Him.
