27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, ^sheaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

23 ^q“Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? 24 ^qCan a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. ^rDo I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
