2 Chronicles 6:16-18

New International Version - UK

¹⁶ ‘Now, Lord, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, “You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law, as you have done.” ¹⁷ And now, Lord, the God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true.

¹⁸ ‘But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple that I have built!
