Exegesis
A causal relative clause led by ʾăšer {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} 'that, because' explains the basis: the perfect verb šāḵaḥat {שָׁכַחַתְּ | šā-ḵaḥat} 'you forgot' with object marker ʾôtî {אוֹתִי | ʾôtî} 'me' underscores the severity of covenantal neglect.
In context — Jeremiah 13:25
This is your lot , the portion of your measures from Me, declares the LORD , because you have forgotten Me and have trusted in falsehood.
