耶和华如此说： 天是我的座位；地是我的脚凳。你们要为我造何等的殿宇？ 哪里是我安息的地方呢？耶和华说： 这一切都是我手所造（建造）的，所以就都有了。但我所看顾的，就是虚心痛悔、因我话而战兢的人。假冒为善的宰牛，好像杀人，献羊羔，好像打折狗项，献供物，好像献猪血，烧乳香，好像称颂偶像。这等人拣选自己的道路，心里喜悦行可憎恶的事。This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that? Could you build me such a resting place? My hands have made (built) both heaven and earth; they and everything in them are mine. I, the Lord, have spoken! I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts, who tremble at my word. But those who choose their own ways - delighting in their detestable sins - will not have their offerings accepted. When such people sacrifice a bull, it is no more acceptable than a human sacrifice. When they sacrifice a lamb, it’s as though they had sacrificed a dog! When they bring an offering of grain, they might as well offer the blood of a pig. When they burn frankincense, it’s as if they had blessed an idol."
我们不能建造比耶和华更大更好的建筑物：天与地。我们只能谦卑我们的心，承受他为我们所设立的地方， 并顺服他的话。我们怎样敬畏耶和华呢？就是从罪恶的行为悔改，传向神，以我们的生命当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的,是我们对他的敬拜。（ 罗马书12：1）We can’t build anything that is greater or better than what the Lord has built – heaven and earth. We only need to humbly accept our place and fear his words by following them. What we could do to honor him is to turn from our sinful ways and offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable offerings of worship to him. (Romans 12:1)
