^7 (A)then I will cut Israel off from the land which I have given them, and ^(B)the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will ^[a]expel from My sight. So ^(C)Israel will become a saying and an object of derision among all peoples. ⁸ And this house will become ^(D)a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by it will be appalled and ^[b]hiss and say, ‘^(E)Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and this house?’

^20 (A)then I will uproot ^[a]you from My land which I have given ^[b]you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight; and I will make it ^(B)a proverb and an object of scorn among all peoples.

¹⁸ For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “As My ^(A)anger and wrath have gushed out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will gush out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a ^(B)curse, an object of horror, ^[a]an imprecation, and a disgrace; and ^(C)you will not see this place again.”
