aSo this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, bthat you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the cfutility of their mind,being adarkened in their understanding, bexcluded from the life of God because of the cignorance that is in them, because of the dhardness of their heart;and they, having abecome callous, bhave given themselves over to csensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. Thus the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.The priests stood at their posts, and athe Levites also, with the instruments of music to the Lord, which King David had made for giving praise to the Lord--"for His lovingkindness is everlasting"--whenever he gave praise by their means, while bthe priests on the other side blew trumpets; and all Israel was standing.aThen Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt offering, the grain offering and the fat.So aSolomon observed the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly who came from the entrance of Hamath to the bbrook of Egypt.

"aIf I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,aand My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land."aNow My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."For anow I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually."As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep My statutes and My ordinances,then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, 'aYou shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.'"aBut 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,athen I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it ba proverb and a byword among all peoples."As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, 'aWhy has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?'"And they will say, 'Because athey forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.'"
