Isaiah 66:1-2

English Standard Version

The Humble and Contrite in Spirit

66 ^(A)Thus says the Lord:
^(B)“Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house that you would build for me,
    and what is the place of my rest?
²^(C)All these things my hand has made,
    and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
^(D)But this is the one to whom I will look:
    he who is humble and contrite in spirit
    and trembles at my word.

Acts 7:44-53

English Standard Version

⁴⁴“Our fathers had ^(A)the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses ^(B)directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen. ⁴⁵Our fathers in turn ^(C)brought it in with Joshua when they ^(D)dispossessed the nations ^(E)that God drove out before our fathers. So it was ^(F)until the days of David, ⁴⁶^(G)who found favor in the sight of God and ^(H)asked to find a dwelling place for ^(I)the God of Jacob.^[a] ⁴⁷But it was ^(J)Solomon who built a house for him. ⁴⁸^(K)Yet the Most High does not dwell ^(L)in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

⁴⁹^(M)“‘Heaven is my throne,
^(N)and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
or what is the place of my rest?
⁵⁰Did not my hand make all these things?’

⁵¹^(O)“You stiff-necked people, ^(P)uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. ^(Q)As your fathers did, so do you. ⁵²^(R)Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of ^(S)the Righteous One, ^(T)whom you have now betrayed and murdered, ⁵³you who received the law ^(U)as delivered by angels and ^(V)did not keep it.”
