Punishment Language

The verse states that "thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations," which could be interpreted as a statement of fact regarding past actions and their inherent consequences, rather than an explicit declaration of divine punishment. It describes the carrying of guilt or the natural outcome of actions, not necessarily an active infliction of suffering by God.
