2 Chronicles 7:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁸ then I will establish your royal throne, as I made covenant with your father David saying, “You shall never lack a successor to rule over Israel.”

¹⁹ ‘But if you^[a] turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, ²⁰ then I will pluck you^[b] up from the land that I have given you;^[c] and this house, which I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
