19 And if ye shall turn away and forsake my laws and my covenant which I gave before you, and ye went and served other gods and worshiped to them; 20 And I plucked them up from my land which I gave to them; and this house which I consecrated to my name I will cast from my face, and I will give it for a parable and for a derision among all peoples. 21 And this house which was high shall astonish to every one passing by it; and saying, For what did Jehovah thus to this land and to this house? 22 And they said, Because they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers who brought them forth from the land of Egypt; and they will lay hold upon other gods and worship to them, and serve them: for this he brought upon them all this evil. 2 Chronicles 7:19-22, Smith's Literal Translation.
