2 Chronicles 7:17-22
17And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and shalt observeH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941;
18Then will I stablishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478.1
19But if ye turn awayH7725, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them;
20Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993 of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
21And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall sayH559, Why hath YhwhH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
22And it shall be answeredH559, Because they forsookH5800 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.
