ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૮:૨૭
પણ શું ઈશ્વર સાચે જ પૃથ્વી પર રહેશે? જુઓ, આકાશ તથા આકાશોનું આકાશ તમારો સમાવેશ કરી શકતું નથી; તો આ મારું બાંધેલું તમારા ભક્તિસ્થાનરૂપી ઘર તમારો સમાવેશ કરે એ કેટલું બધું અશક્ય છે!
हिन्दी1 राजाओं ८:२७
“क्या परमेश्वर सचमुच पृथ्वी पर वास करेगा, स्वर्ग में वरन् सबसे ऊँचे स्वर्ग में भी तू नहीं समाता, फिर मेरे बनाए हुए इस भवन में कैसे समाएगा। (प्रेरि. 17:24)

In context

25Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

26“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

27But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

28Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;

29that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
