How Egypt would be a reminder can be stated clearly. The abstract nouns "reminder" and "iniquity" can be expressed with the verbs "remember" and "sin." Alternate translation: "when Israel sees what I do to Egypt, Israel will remember how Israel sinned" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)
