What does Jeremiah 5:19 mean?

When you ask, 'Why is the Lord our God doing all this to us?' I'll tell you: Just like you abandoned me and served foreign gods in your own land, now you'll serve foreigners in a land that's not yours. Jeremiah 5:19 - Modern Text Bible

(God explains that their suffering is a direct result of their own choices to worship other gods; now they'll experience what it's like to be under foreign rule.)
