Exegesis
The contrastive clause vehu mazkir avon {וְהוּא מַזְכִּיר עָוֹן | wə-hūʾ maz-kîr ʿā-vōn} ‘but He recalling iniquity’ highlights divine judgment, and the purpose clause lehitafes {לְהִתָּפֵשׂ | lə-hî-tā-pēs} ‘to be seized’ completes the judicial action.
In context — Ezekiel 21:23
And it will be to them like a false divination in their eyes—those who have sworn oaths—for them; but He will bring to remembrance the iniquity , in order that they may be seized.
