2 Chronicles 6:16 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6
14 Ó SENHOR Deus de Israel, não há Deus semelhante a ti no céu nem na terra, que guardas o pacto e a misericórdia a teus servos que caminham diante de ti de todo seu coração;
15 Que guardaste a teu servo Davi meu pai o que lhe disseste: tu o disseste de tua boca, mas com tua mão o cumpriste, como parece este dia.
16 Agora, pois, SENHOR Deus de Israel, guarda a teu servo Davi meu pai o que lhe prometeste, dizendo: Não faltará de ti homem diante de mim, que se sente no trono de Israel, a condição que teus filhos guardem seu caminho, andando em minha lei, como tu diante de mim andaste.
17 Agora, pois, ó SENHOR Deus de Israel, verifique-se tua palavra que disseste a teu servo Davi.
18 Mas é verdade que Deus habitará com o homem na terra? Eis aqui, os céus e os céus dos céus não podem conter-te: quanto menos esta casa que edifiquei?
