歷代志上二十九13-16：
13 我們的神啊，現在我們稱謝你，讚美你榮耀之名！
14 我算什麼，我的民算什麼，竟能如此樂意奉獻？因為萬物都從你而來，我們把從你而得的獻給你。
15 我們在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，與我們列祖一樣。我們在世的日子如影兒，不能長存【或作沒有長存的指望】。
16 耶和華─我們的神啊，我們預備這許多材料，要為你的聖名建造殿宇，都是從你而來，都是屬你的。

1 Chronicles 29:13-16

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 foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. ¹⁶ Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.

申命記八18：
18 你要記念耶和華─你的神，因為得貨財的力量是他給你的，為要堅定他向你列祖起誓所立的約，像今日一樣。

Deuteronomy 8:18
¹⁸ But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
