Quick answer
God will judge Israel according to her ways and repay all her abominations. Judgment is just and fitted to the people's deeds.
Overview
The Lord declares He will send His anger and judge the people according to their conduct, bringing their abominations back upon them. The justice is exact, measured to actual sin rather than arbitrary. This principle of just recompense runs through Scripture, magnifying the mercy of the cross where the deserved judgment fell on Christ instead of His people.
