²³ Thus it was necessary for ^(A)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For Christ has entered, not into holy places ^(B)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God ^(C)on our behalf.

^9 (A)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those ^(B)whose heart is blameless^[a] toward him. ^(C)You have done foolishly in this, for from now on ^(D)you will have wars.”

⁴³ hear in heaven your dwelling place and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to you, in order ^(A)that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and ^(B)fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house that I have built is called by your name.
