| 14 \"But who am I, and who are my people, that we
should be able to give as generously as this?
Everything comes from you, and we have given
you only what comes from your hand.
15 We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were
all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a
shadow, without hope.
16 O LORD our God, as for all this abundance that we
have provided for building you a temple for your
Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it
belongs to you.
17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are
pleased with integrity. All these things have I given
willingly and with honest intent. And now I have
seen with joy how willingly your people who are
here have given to you.
