2 Chronicles 7:20-22

[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 that passeth  by it; so that he shall say,  Why hath the LORD  done  thus unto this land,  and unto this house?  [22] And it shall be answered,  Because they forsook  the LORD  God  of their fathers,  which brought them forth  out of the land  of Egypt,  and laid hold  on other  gods,  and worshipped  them, and served  them: therefore hath he brought  all this evil  upon them.
