12 H426 And the God H8036 that hath caused his name H7932 [H8745] to dwell H8536 there H4049 [H8741] destroy H3606 all H4430 kings H5972 and people H7972 H3028 [H8748] , that shall try H8133 [H8682] to alter H2255 [H8742] the decree and to destroy H1791 this H1005 house H426 of God H3390 which is at Jerusalem H576 .
