But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
But will God {H430} in very deed {H552} dwell {H3427} with men {H120} on the earth {H776}? behold, heaven {H8064} and the heaven {H8064} of heavens {H8064} cannot contain {H3557} thee; how much less this house {H1004} which I have built {H1129}!
"But can God actually live with human beings on the earth? Why, heaven itself, even the heaven of heavens, cannot contain you; so how much less this house I have built?
But will God indeed dwell with man upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have builded!
