1 Chronicles 29:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were all our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a shadow, and there is no stay.

¹⁶ O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are thine.

¹⁷ I know my God that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.
