Even though God punished his people for their sin

The connecting words "Even though" contrast God sending the people into exile, and him not forgetting his promises to them. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast)

exile

See how you translated this term in 20:09.

did not forget

This could be translated as, “did not ignore” or, “did not neglect.” Or the whole phrase could be translated as, “continued to honor his commitment to his people and his promises.”

watch over

That is, “take care of.”

speak to them through his prophets

This could be translated as, “tell his prophets messages that he wanted them to tell his people.”
