2 Chronicles 6:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ And now, O God of Israel, carry out your further promise to him that ‘your descendants shall always reign over Israel if they will obey my laws as you have.’ ¹⁷ Yes, Lord God of Israel, please fulfill this promise too. ¹⁸ But will God really live upon the earth with men? Why, even the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you—how much less this Temple I have built!
