And it came to pass the same night, that the word of LORD came to Nathan, saying,
Concerning this house that thou are building, if thou will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with thee, which I spoke to David thy father.
Thus says LORD, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What manner of house will ye build to me, and what place shall be my rest?

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from LORD.
