2 Chronicles 7:17-22

17As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, to do according to everything that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My ordinances, 18then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, ‘12You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.’

19“3But if you turn away and abandon My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, 204then I will uproot 5you from My land which I have given 6you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight; and I will make it 7a proverb and an object of scorn among all peoples. 21As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘8Why has the Lord done these things to this land and to this house?’ 22And they will say, ‘Because 9they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods, and worshiped and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.’”
