Zechariah 6:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, and saith, Behold, the man whose name is the [a]Branch, and he shall grow [b]up out of his place, and he shall [c]build the Temple of the Lord.
13 Even he shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall bear the [d]glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, and he shall be a Priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between [e]them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to [f]Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to [g]Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a [h]memorial in the Temple of the Lord.
