I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship
them:

them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I
cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword
among all people:
And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it
shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath
the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?
