²² And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.

³⁴ But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

⁴ The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.

¹ The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?

⁴⁹ 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?

² Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it;

³ And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald.
