Exegesis
The interjection he {הֵ֜א | hē} ‘behold’ introduces the prophetic announcement where the idiom darkekh be-rosh natatti {דַּרְכֵּךְ בְּרֹאשׁ נָתַ֗תִּי | darkêḵ bə-rōʾš nāṯattî} ‘I have set your way upon your head’ signals retributive justice.
In context — Ezekiel 16:43
Because you did not remember the days of your youth and provoked Me with all these things, behold, I also have set your way upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD . Have you not committed this lewdness in addition to all your abominations?
