5“GoH1980 and sayH559 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “1Should you buildH1129 Me a houseH1004 for My dwellingH3427?

6For 2I have not dweltH3427 in a houseH1004 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 I broughtH5927 upH5927 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714, even to thisH2088 dayH3117; rather, I have beenH1961 movingH1980 aboutH1980 3in a tentH168, that is, in a dwellingH4908 placeH4908.

74WhereverH3605H834 I have goneH1980 with allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, did I speakH1696 a wordH1697 with oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, 5whomH834 I commandedH6680 to shepherdH7462 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘WhyH4100 have you not builtH1129 Me a houseH1004 of cedarH730?’”’
