9 “And you, Solomon, my son, know that God is your father. Serve him with all your heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart, and he understands the ponderings of every thought. If you seek him, you will find him, but if you abandon him, then he will cast you off forever. 10 Take heed, now, that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”
