1 Kings 9:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
1 Kings 9:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 But if any of you[a] or your sons turn away from me and do not keep my commands and statutes, which I set before you, but you serve other gods and bow down to them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the face of the ground which I gave them. I will take my presence away from the house which I consecrated for my Name. Israel will become proverbial as an object of ridicule for all peoples.
8 Though this house is now exalted,[b] all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss[c] and say, “Why did the Lord do this to this land and to this house?”
