2 Chronicles 7:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ “But if you^[a] turn away and abandon my statutes and my commands that I have given you, and if you^[b] walk away to serve other gods and worship them, ²⁰ then I will tear them up by the roots from the ground that I had given them! And as for this Temple that I have set apart for my name, I will throw it out of my sight and make it the butt of jokes^[c] and a means of ridicule among people worldwide!

²¹ “Furthermore, even though this Temple seems so exalted, everyone who passes by it will be so astounded that they will ask, ‘Why did the Lord do this to this land and to this Temple?’
