In context
46 Who found grace before God and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him a house,
48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
49 Heaven is my throne and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me (saith the Lord)? Or what is the place of my resting?

52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One: of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers.
