2 Samuel 7:19

וַתִּקְטַן֩ עֹ֨וד זֹ֤את בְּעֵינֶ֨יךָ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וַתְּדַבֵּ֛ר גַּ֥ם אֶל־בֵּֽית־עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְמֵֽרָחֹ֑וק וְזֹ֛את תֹּורַ֥ת הָאָדָ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord YHWH, and you have spoken also concerning your servant’s house for a distant future. And this is the law for humanity, O Lord YHWH.
