2 Chronicles 7:20-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁰ I will uproot them from my soil I have given to them. This house, which I have consecrated to my Name, I will toss away, out of my sight. I will make it proverbial as an object of ridicule among all the peoples.

²¹ Though this house is now exalted, everyone who passes by it will be appalled and say, “Why has the Lord done this to this land and this house?”

²² The answer will be: “Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and they embraced other gods, worshipped them, and served them. That is why he has brought all this disaster on them.”
