Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bifneikhem {בִּפְנֵיכֶם | bif-nê-khem} ‘in your own sight’ intensifies self-examination, and the comprehensive clause be-kol-raotekhem asher asitem {בְּכָל־רָעֹתֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם | bə-kōl-rā-ʿō-ṯê-khem ʾă-šer ʿă-sî-tem} ‘for all your evils which you have done’ closes the admonition, linking memory, defilement, and remorse.
In context — Ezekiel 20:43
And there you will remember your ways and all your deeds by which you became defiled, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which you have done.
