^{48 Ref} Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in `houses' made with hands; as saith the prophet,

^{49 Ref} The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

^{50 Ref} Did not my hand make all these things?

^{51 Ref} Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

^{48 Ref} But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

^{49 Ref} Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

^{50 Ref} Did not my hand make all these things?

^{51 Ref} You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.
