1 Chronicles 29:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer willingly after this sort? for all things [a]come of thee: and of thine own hand we have given thee.
15 For we are [b]strangers before thee, and sojourners like all our fathers: our days are like the shadow upon the earth, and there is none [c]abiding.
16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy Name, is of thine hand, and all is thine.
