The LORD
, the God of heaven, who
has
given me all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
has
appointed
me to build a house for
Him
at
Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever
among you belongs
to
His people, may

LORD
his God be with him, and may
he
go up. ’”

the kingdoms
of
the
earth
hath
Jehovah
, the God of heaven, given me ;

hath
charged

a house in
Jerusalem ,
which
is
in Judah. Whosoever
there
is
among you of
all
his people, Jehovah
his God be with him, and let
him
go up.
