I have caused to be hold this house which you built To set my name there until forever. And shall be My eyes and My heart there all the days. And you yourself, if you walk before My face According as walked David your father in perfection of heart and in uprightness To do according to all which I command you, My ordinances And my judgments You shall guard. Then I will cause to rise the throne of your kingdom over Israel to forever Just as I spoke until David your father, saying, ?It shall not cut off for you a man from on the throne of Israel.?E If turning you turn, you yourself and your sons, from after me And they do not guard My commandments, My ordinances which I gave before your face And you walk and you serve other gods and prostrate yourselves to them And I will cause to cut off Israel from over the face of the ground which I gave to them and the house which I caused to be holy to My name And I will drive them out from before My face And Israel will become a parable and a taunt among all the peoples. And this house will be upper All passing by it will be desolated and will whistle And they will say ?On account of what did Yahweh thus to this land and to this house??E And they will say, ?On account of which they forsook Yahweh their God Who caused their fathers to come out from the land of Mizraim And they seized on other gods And they prostrated themselves to them And they served them. Therefore Yahweh cause to come on them All this evil.
