2 Chronicles 6:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Lord, you are the God of Israel. So let your promise to your servant David come true.

¹⁸ “But will God really live on earth with human beings? After all, the heavens can’t hold you. In fact, even the highest heavens can’t hold you. So this temple I’ve built certainly can’t hold you! ¹⁹ But please pay attention to my prayer. Lord my God, be ready to help me as I make my appeal to you. Listen to my cry for help. Hear the prayer I’m praying to you.
