1 Kings 9:6-9

6But ifH518 indeedH7725 youH859 or your sonsH1121 turn awayH7725 from following MeH310 and do notH3808 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 and statutesH2708 I have setH5414 before youH6440, and if you go offH1980 to serveH5647 and worshipH7812 otherH312 godsH430, 7then I will cut offH3772 IsraelH3478 fromH5921 the landH127 thatH834 I have givenH5414 them, and I will banishH7971 fromH5921 My presenceH6440 thisH853 templeH1004 I have sanctifiedH6942 for My NameH8034. Then IsraelH3478 will becomeH1961 an object of scornH4912 and ridiculeH8148 among allH3605 peoplesH5971.

8And when thisH2088 templeH1004 has becomeH1961 a heap of rubbleH5945,1 allH3605 who passH5674 by itH5921 will be appalledH8074 and will hissH8319 and sayH559, ‘WhyH5921H4100 has the LORDH3068 doneH6213 such a thingH3602 to thisH2063 landH776 and to thisH2088 templeH1004?’ 9And others will answerH559, ‘BecauseH5921 they have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 their GodH430 whoH834 broughtH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have embracedH2388 otherH312 godsH430, worshipingH7812 and serving themH5647—because ofH5921 thisH3651, the LORDH3068 has broughtH935 allH3605 thisH2063 disasterH7451 upon themH5921.’”
