Acts 7:45-50
Christian Standard Bible
45 Our ancestors in turn received it and with Joshua brought it in when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before them,(A) until the days of David. 46 He found favor in God’s sight and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God[a] of Jacob.(B) 47 It was Solomon, rather, who built him a house,(C) 48 but the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, as the prophet says:(D)
49 Heaven is my throne,
and the earth my footstool.
What sort of house will you build for me?
says the Lord,
or what will be my resting place?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?[b](E)
Acts 7:45-50
King James Version
45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him an house.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

49 (K)“‘Heaven is my throne,
(L)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?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?’
