1 Chronicles 29:14-17

14But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!

15We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace.

16“O Lord our God, even this material we have gathered to build a Temple to honor your holy name comes from you! It all belongs to you!

17I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. You know I have done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.
