2 Chronicles 2:4-6
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 So do with me that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to burn incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and for the continual setting forth of bread, and for the holocausts, morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and the solemnities of the Lord our God for ever, which are commanded for Israel.
5 For the house which I desire to build, is great: for our God is great above all gods.
6 Who then can be able to build him a worthy house? if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: who am I that I should be able to build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him.

2 Chronicles 2:4-6
New International Version
4 Now I am about to build a temple(A) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(B) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(C) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(D) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(E) at the New Moons(F) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
5 “The temple I am going to build will be great,(G) because our God is greater than all other gods.(H) 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(I) Who then am I(J) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
