I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am Jehovah their God.

But will God truly dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built!

You have gone up on high; You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts for men, yes, even for the rebellious; that YAH God might dwell among them.

Who is like Jehovah our God, who dwells on high,

who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth!

For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?

However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:

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

God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

but who is able to build Him a house, since the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a house, except to burn sacrifices with smoke before Him?

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I take the wings of the dawn, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and earth? says Jehovah.

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 therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you nor entice you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand.

even moreso those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the grass!

How then can I answer Him, and choose my words before Him?

How then can man be just before the Mighty God? Or how can one be pure who is born of a woman?

how much less man, who is a maggot; and the son of man, who is a worm!

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