2 Chronicles 6:18 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6
16 Ahora pues, Jehová Dios de Israel, guarda á tu siervo David mi padre lo que le has prometido, diciendo: No faltará de ti varón delante de mí, que se siente en el trono de Israel, á condición que tus hijos guarden su camino, andando en mi ley, como tú delante de mí has andado.
17 Ahora pues, oh Jehová Dios de Israel, verifíquese tu palabra que dijiste á tu siervo David.
18 Mas ¿es verdad que Dios ha de habitar con el hombre en la tierra? He aquí, los cielos y los cielos de los cielos no pueden contenerte: ¿cuánto menos esta casa que he edificado?
19 Mas tú mirarás á la oración de tu siervo, y á su ruego, oh Jehová Dios mío, para oir el clamor y la oración con que tu siervo ora delante de ti.
20 Que tus ojos estén abiertos sobre esta casa de día y de noche, sobre el lugar del cual dijiste, Mi nombre estará allí; que oigas la oración con que tu siervo ora en este lugar.
