1 Chronicles 28:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.

⁹ And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

¹⁰ Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
