16. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
17. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,
18. then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’
19. “But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them,
20. then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
