2 Chronicles 6:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ “My father David was determined to build a temple to honor the Lord, the God of Israel. ⁸ However, the Lord said to him: ‘In wishing to build a temple in my honor, you did well. ⁹ But nevertheless you shall not build the temple. Rather, your son who shall be born to you shall be the one who will build the temple in my name.’
