1 Kings 8:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ But surely God, you do not live on the earth! The whole sky, or even heaven itself, is too small to contain you! So how can you live in this temple that I have built? ²⁸ But Lord, my God, please listen to my prayer, as I ask you for help. Please answer me, your servant, because I need your help today. ²⁹ Watch over this temple and take care of it day and night. This is the place about which you said, “People will give honour to my name there.” Please answer my prayers when I turn towards this place to pray to you.
