1 Chronicles 29:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ “These things did not really come from me and my people.
    Everything comes from you.
    We have given you back what you gave us.
¹⁵ We are like foreigners and strangers.
    All our ancestors were also foreigners and strangers.
Our time on earth is like a shadow.
    There is no hope.
¹⁶ Lord our God, we have gathered all this to build your Temple.
    We will build it for worship to you.
But everything has come from you.
    Everything belongs to you.
