2 Chronicles 6:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ “And now, O Lord God of Israel, keep what You promised Your servant David my father saying, ‘You will not lack a man sitting on the throne of Israel before Me, if only your sons take heed to their way to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.’ ¹⁷ And now, O Lord God of Israel, may Your word be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant David.

¹⁸ “For will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? The heavens, even the highest heavens, are not able to contain You, much less this house that I have built.
