And I will be called upon among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, to be called upon by them, and to be their God.

But will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? If the heaven and heaven of heavens will not suffice You, how much less even this house which I have built for Your name?

You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive, You have received gifts among men, yea, for [they were] rebellious, that You might dwell among them.

Who is as the Lord our God? Who dwells in the high places,

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth;

Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high forever, Holy in the holies is His name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted;

Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool; what kind of a house will you build for Me? And of what kind [is to be] the place of My rest?

However, the Most High does not dwell in handmaid sanctuaries, just as the prophet says:

'Heaven is My throne, and earth a footstool for My feet. What kind of house will you build for Me? says the LORD, or what is the place of My rest?

The God who made the world and all the things in it, Him being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,

And who will be able to build Him a house? For the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain His glory. And who am I, that I should build Him a house, except only to burn incense before Him?

Where shall I go from Your Spirit? And to where shall I flee from Your presence?

If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],

Shall anyone hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

Now then, let not Hezekiah deceive you, and let him not make you thus confident, and believe him not, for no god of any kingdom or nation is at all able to deliver his people out of my hand, or the hand of my fathers; therefore your God shall not deliver you out of my hand.

But as [for] them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, He smites them like a moth.

Oh then that He would listen to me, or judge my cause.

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? Or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

But alas! Man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, by how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
