2 Chronicles 7:19-20

19 “But if you^[a] turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you^[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them,

20 then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
