And the house that I am building is great, for greater is our God than all gods;

and who doth retain strength to build to Him a house, for the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? and who am I that I do build to Him a house, except to make perfume before Him?

even to prepare for me trees in abundance, for the house that I am building is great and wonderful.
