15. Now, therefore, my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place;
16. now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever; my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
17. As for you, if you walk before me as David your father did, doing all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and ordinances,
18. I will establish the throne of your kingship as I covenanted with David your father when I said, There shall never be wanting someone from your line as ruler in Israel.
19. But if ever you turn away and forsake my commandments and statutes which I set before you, and proceed to serve other gods, and bow down to them,
20. I will uproot the people from the land I gave and repudiate the house I have consecrated for my name. I will make it a proverb and a byword among all nations.
