Significance: God's warning in 2 Chronicles 7:20 that Israel will become "a proverb and a byword" (mashal u-shninah) among all peoples echoes Jeremiah 24:9's prophetic fulfillment: God declares that Zedekiah and the remaining Judahites will become "a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse" (cherpah u-mashal li-shninah ve-li-qelalah) in every place of exile. The verbal overlap demonstrates that what Solomon's temple dedication anticipated as potential judgment, Jeremiah announces as imminent reality. The Chronicler's audience stands between these poles—having experienced Jeremiah's fulfillment and now seeking the restoration that 2 Chronicles 7:14 promises.
