Then will I cut off Israel out of the land I have given them, etc.] Suffer them to be carried captive into other lands, as the ten tribes were into Assyria, and the two tribes to Babylon; which is called a plucking them up by the roots in (<140720>2 Chronicles 7:20) and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight: as it was when burnt by Nebuchadnezzar: and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people; both for their sins and for their miseries; (see <052837>Deuteronomy 28:37 <242409>Jeremiah 24:9): in (<140720>2 Chronicles 7:20) the house or temple is said to be made a proverb of.
