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.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Chronicles. God appears again to Solomon and confirms that he has chosen the temple as a place of prayer. The promise to hear, forgive, and heal is connected with humility, prayer, seeking God, and turning away from evil ways. The passage also warns that unfaithfulness can lead to judgment and abandonment of the temple. The promise and warning form an inseparable unit.

so werde ich sie auswurzeln aus meinem Lande, das ich ihnen gegeben habe; und dies Haus, das ich meinem Namen geheiligt habe, werde ich von meinem Angesicht werfen und werde es zum Sprichwort machen und zur Fabel unter allen Völkern.
Yo los arrancaré de mi tierra que les he dado; y esta casa que he santificado a mi nombre, yo la echaré de delante de mí, y pondrela por proverbio y fábula en todos los pueblos.
je vous arracherai de mon pays que je vous ai donné, je rejetterai loin de moi cette maison que j'ai consacrée à mon nom, et j'en ferai un sujet de sarcasme et de raillerie parmi tous les peuples.
io vi divellerò d’in su la mia terra che io vi ho data, e rigetterò dal mio cospetto questa Casa che io ho consacrata al mio Nome, e la metterò in proverbio ed in favola fra tutti i popoli.
Então os arrancarei da minha terra que lhes dei, e lançarei da minha presença esta casa que consagrei ao meu nome, e farei com que seja por provérbio e motejo entre todos os povos.
我就必把 以色列 人從我賜給他們的地上連根拔起,也必從我面前捨棄那為我名所分別為聖的殿,使它在萬民中成為笑柄,被人譏誚。
