7:16a For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple

I have made this temple a holy place, and have chosen it
-or-
This is to be my house, and I have sanctified it

7:16b so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.

so that my name will always be here. I will always watch over it and care for it.
-or-
as the place where I will always be. I will always be here, paying loving attention to it.
