17
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before Me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe My statutes and My judgments,
18
then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, `There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.'
19
"But if ye turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods and worship them,
20
then will I pluck them up by the roots out of My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name will I cast out of My sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
21
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one who passeth by it, so that he shall say, `Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land and unto this house?'
