17 ^aAs for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ^a‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’

19 ^a“But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them,

20 ^athen I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have¹ sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a ^bbyword among all peoples.

21 “And as for ^athis house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be ^bastonished and say, ^c‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?’

22 Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.’ ”
