1 Kings 9:8-9 and, this house which had been renowned, shall be desolate, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and shall whistle,––and men shall say––For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land, and unto this house?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ and, this house which had been renowned, shall be desolate, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and shall whistle,––and men shall say––For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land, and unto this house? ⁹ And men will answer––Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath Yahweh brought in upon them all this ruin.
