15 But if YOU will not obey the voice of Jehovah+ and YOU will actually rebel against the order of Jehovah,+ the hand of Jehovah will certainly prove to be against YOU and YOUR fathers.*+

9 “And you, Solʹo·mon my son, know+ the God of your father and serve+ him with a complete heart+ and with a delightful soul;+ for all hearts Jehovah is searching,+ and every inclination of the thoughts he is discerning.+ If you search for him, he will let himself be found by you;+ but if you leave him,+ he will cast you off forever.+

19 And he proceeded to burn the house of the [true] God+ and pull down the wall+ of Jerusalem; and all its dwelling towers they burned with fire and also all its desirable articles,+ so as to cause ruin.+

27 “‘“But if YOU will not obey me by sanctifying the sabbath day and not carrying a load,+ but there is a coming in [with it] through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, I will also set a fire ablaze in her gates,+ and it will certainly devour the dwelling towers of Jerusalem+ and will not be extinguished.”’”+

8 And the Chal·deʹans will certainly come back and fight against this city and capture it and burn it with fire.”+

13 And he proceeded to burn the house of Jehovah+ and the house of the king and all the houses of Jerusalem;+ and every great house he burned with fire.+

14 And Israel began forgetting his Maker+ and building temples;+ and Judah, for his part, multiplied fortified cities.+ And I shall certainly send fire into his cities and it must devour the dwelling towers of [each] one.”+
