“ But the Most High God does not live in houses made by human hands. As God says through the prophet,

其实，至高者并不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：

其实，至高者并不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：

其实，至高者并不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：

“其实至高的上帝并不住人造的殿，祂曾借着先知说，

其实至高者并不住人手所造的，正如先知说：

其实至高者并不住在人手所造的殿宇里，正如先知所说：

其實，至高者並不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：

其實，至高者並不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：

「其實至高的上帝並不住人造的殿，祂曾藉著先知說，

其實至高者並不住人手所造的，正如先知說：

其實至高者不住在人手造的；正如神言人所說的：

其實至高者並不住在人手所造的殿宇裡，正如先知所說：

然至上者不居手造之室、如先知所云、

然手造之殿、至上者弗居、如先知所云、

然至上者不居手造之殿、如先知所言、

實則至高者不居人手所造之殿、先知不云乎、主曰：

“ However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:

Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says,

but the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, as the prophet says:

However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:

“ However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:

Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in houses made with hands; as saith the prophet,

However, the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, as the prophet says:

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Yet the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands, as the prophet says,

However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

The Lord says,“ Heaven is my throne. The earth is under my control. So how could you ever build a house for me? Where would my resting place be?Didn’t I make everything by my power? That is how all things were created,” announces the Lord.“ The people I value are not proud. They are sorry for the wrong things they have done. They have great respect for what I say.

“ The temple I’m going to build will be beautiful. That’s because our God is greater than all other gods.So who is able to build a temple for him? After all, the heavens can’t hold him. In fact, not even the highest heavens can hold him. So who am I to build a temple for him? It will only be a place to burn sacrifices in front of him.

“ He is the God who made the world. He also made everything in it. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn’t live in temples built by human hands.He is not served by human hands. He doesn’t need anything. Instead, he himself gives life and breath to all people. He also gives them everything else they have.

“ But will you really live on earth? After all, the heavens can’t hold you. In fact, even the highest heavens can’t hold you. So this temple I’ve built certainly can’t hold you!

Suppose you say,“ The Lord is the one who keeps me safe.” Suppose you let the Most High God be like a home to you.

The Most High God gave the nations their lands. He divided up the human race. He set up borders for the nations. He did it based on the number of the angels in his heavenly court.

I will give thanks to the Lord because he does what is right. I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.

Whoever rests in the shadow of the Most High God will be kept safe by the Mighty One.

At the end of that time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven. My mind became clear again. Then I praised the Most High God. I gave honor and glory to the God who lives forever. His rule will last forever. His kingdom will never end.

“‘ The decision is announced by holy messengers. So all who are alive will know that the Most High God is King. He rules over all kingdoms on earth. He gives them to anyone he wants. Sometimes he puts the least important people in charge of them.’

“ Your Majesty, here is what your dream means. The Most High God has given an order against you.You will be driven away from people. You will live with the wild animals. You will eat grass just as an ox does. You will become wet with the dew of heaven. Seven periods of time will pass by for you. Then you will recognize that the Most High God rules over all kingdoms on earth. He gives them to anyone he wants.

“ But will God really live on earth with human beings? After all, the heavens can’t hold you. In fact, even the highest heavens can’t hold you. So this temple I’ve built certainly can’t hold you!

But Lord, you are honored forever.

God’s blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives.

I am the Most High God. But they do not turn to me. They are like a bow that does not shoot straight. Their leaders will be killed by swords. They will die because they have spoken too proudly. The people of Egypt will make fun of them.”
