Zechariah 6:9-15
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and Jedaiah, which are come from Babel, and come thou the same day, and go unto the house of [a]Josiah, the son of Zephaniah.
11 Take even silver, and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the [b]head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak the high Priest,
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, and saith, Behold, the man whose name is the [c]Branch, and he shall grow [d]up out of his place, and he shall [e]build the Temple of the Lord.
13 Even he shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall bear the [f]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 [g]them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to [h]Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to [i]Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a [j]memorial in the Temple of the Lord.
15 And they that are [k]far off, shall come and build in the Temple of the Lord, and ye shall know, that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will [l]obey the voice of the Lord your God.
