3 But the true God told me, ‘You will not build a house for my name,+ for you are a man of wars, and you have shed blood.’+

3 And the [true] God himself said to me, ‘You will not build a house to my name;+ for a man of wars you are, and blood you have spilled.’+

3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.

3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

3 but God said to me ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of wars and have been shedding blood.’
