2 Chronicles 7:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

^20 (A)then I will uproot you from My land which I have given ^[a]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 a byword among all peoples. ²¹ As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘^(C)Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ ²² And they will say, ‘Because ^(D)they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.’”
