2 Chronicles 6:18 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6
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?
19 Mas tu olharás à oração de teu servo, e a seu rogo, ó SENHOR Deus meu, para ouvir o clamor e a oração com que teu servo ora diante de ti.
20 Que teus olhos estejam abertos sobre esta casa de dia e de noite, sobre o lugar do qual disseste, Meu nome estará ali; que oigas a oração com que teu servo ora em este lugar.
