2 Chronicles 6:16-18
International Standard Version
16 “Now therefore, Lord God of Israel, keep your promise that you made[a] to my father, your servant David, when you said, ‘You are to not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel,[b] if only your descendants will watch their lives,[c] to live according to my Law, just as you have lived[d] in my presence.’[e]
17 “Now therefore, Lord God of Israel, may your promise that you made[f] to your servant David be fulfilled… 18 and yet, will God truly reside on earth with human beings? Look! Neither the sky nor the highest heaven can contain you! How much less this Temple that I have built!
