What is the comparison to not remembering the Chesed that I did for you?

1.

Radak: All this [punishment] I did to you because you did not remember the Chesed that I did for you in your youth, when you were naked. You angered Me via serving other gods.

2.

Malbim: These punishments were with great anger because you did not remember the good things that Hashem did for you in your youth. Due to them, you were obligated to guard His Mitzvos and Toros. You angered Me with all these abomination mentioned above.

2)

It is written Zacharti, and we pronounce it Zachart?

1.

Radak: It is written with an extra Yud at the end. The same applies to Asis.

3)

What is the meaning of "Ha"?

1.

Rashi: This is like Hine. Radak ? this is like "Hei Lachem Zera" (Bereishis 47:23).

4)

How did He put your way at the head?

1.

Radak: You did all these abominations, and also I saw that I put your way at the head, and I took My vengeance from you.

2.

Malbim: You deserved your punishments ? the four Misos Beis Din - according to Torah law. One is stoned for idolatry and Molech. One is choked for adultery. The sword is for killing children, and for an Ir ha'Nidachas (its majority served idolatry; they get the sword, and their property is destroyed). Also refer to 16:43:5:3.

5)

Why does it say "v'Lo Asis Es ha'Zimah"?

1.

Rashi: Even though I put your ways on your head, you did not take counsel about your abominations, to repent from them (Targum Yonasan). Every Zimah in Tanach is counsel ? some is for good, and some is for bad.

2.

Radak: While you were doing the abominations, and I was testifying (warning) you every day 'repent from your evil way', and you did not think what you should have thought. I.e. you did not put to heart 'v'Eich E'eseh ha'Ra'ah ha'Gedolah ha'Zos v'Chatasi lEi'lokim" (Bereishis 39:9), who took me out of Beis Avadim and gave to me a land of inheritance, and did for me many benefits and Chasadim. You did not put all this to heart.

3.

Malbim: A Bas Yisrael is not burned for adultery, but "v'Ish Asher Yikach Es Ishah v'Es Imah Zimah Hi ba'Esh Yisrofu" (Vayikra 20:14). Our verse asks, did you not transgress this Zimah?! (You did!)
