Yahweh is speaking as if he were actually going to cut off the Israelites from … the ground, as if they were a plant that he would remove from the ground with a sharp tool. He means that he will remove the Israelites from the land so that they will no longer live in it. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [then I will remove the Israelites so that they will no longer live in the land that I have given to them]

Yahweh is speaking as if the temple were actually a person whom he could send away with a command. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will destroy so that it no longer exists]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הָיָ֧ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל לְ⁠מָשָׁ֥ל וְ⁠לִ⁠שְׁנִינָ֖ה בְּ⁠כָל־הָ⁠עַמִּֽים

and=it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_cut_off DOM Yisrael from=under face/surface_of the=soil which/who I_give to/for=them and=DOM the,house which/who consecrated for,name_of,my throw_out from=under face_of,my and=it_was Yisrael (into)_a,byword and_(into),a,taunt in=all the,peoples )

The word translated as proverb indicates in this context that people would use the specific case of Israel as a reference point for a general observation. The word translated as taunt means that people would use a comparison with what happened to Israel to mock or ridicule others who suffered a similar fate. So while the meaning of these terms is similar, there is a significant difference between them, and we recommend that you do not combine them into a single term or phrase in your translation. The UST models one way to show their different meanings.
