Expanded Bible

¹⁸ “But, ·God, can you [will God] really live here on the earth with ·people [mortals]? The ·sky and the highest place in heaven [heavens, even the highest heavens,] cannot contain you. ·Surely this house which I have built cannot contain you [How much less this temple/^Lhouse I have built]. ¹⁹ But ·please listen [listen favorably; attend] to my prayer and my request, because I am your servant. Lord my God, hear this ·prayer [cry] your servant prays to you. ²⁰ Day and night please watch over this ·Temple [^Lhouse] where you have said you would ·be worshiped [^Lput your name]. Hear the prayer I pray facing this place.
