But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your
children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which
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:

shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath
the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?
