1 Kings 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Then will I cut off Israel from the land, which I have given them, and the house which I have hallowed (A)for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a [a]proverb, and a common talk among all people.
8 Even this high house shall be so: everyone that passeth by it, shall be astonied, and shall hiss, and they shall say, (B)Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land and to this house?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, which brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them, therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.

New International Version
7 then I will cut off Israel from the land(A) I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name.(B) Israel will then become a byword(C) and an object of ridicule(D) among all peoples. 8 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[a] who pass by will be appalled(E) and will scoff and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’(F) 9 People will answer,(G) ‘Because they have forsaken(H) the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why the Lord brought all this disaster(I) on them.’”
