10He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.
11Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.
12Only may the Lord give you wisdom, and knowledge of his orders for Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
13And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.
14Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.
15And you have a great number of workmen, cutters and workers of stone and wood, and experts in every sort of work,
16In gold and silver and brass and iron more than may be numbered. Up! then, and to work; and may the Lord be with you.
