2 Chronicles 7:19 In-Context

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?'
