2 Chronicles 7:12, 16, 20

the LORD appeared to him at night and said: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.

I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
