1 Kings 9:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them. And I will cast the House which I have sanctified for My Name out of My sight. And Israel shall be a proverb and a common talk among all people.

⁸ “Even this high House shall be so. Everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and they shall say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this House?’

⁹ “And they shall answer, ‘Because they forsook the LORD their God, Who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them. Therefore, the LORD has brought all this misery upon them.’”
