2 Chronicles 6:18-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸ “But ^(A)will God really dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, ^(B)heaven and the ^[a]highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built! ¹⁹ Nevertheless, turn Your attention to the prayer of Your servant and to his plea, Lord, my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You; ²⁰ that Your ^(C)eye will be open toward this house day and night, toward ^(D)the place of which You have said that You would put Your name there, to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place. ²¹ Listen to the pleadings of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place; hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven; ^(E)hear and forgive.
