Zechariah 6:11-15

11Take silver and gold, make an ornate 1crown and set it on the head of 2Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.

12Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is 3 4Branch, for He will 5 6branch out from where He is; and He will 7build the temple of the Lord.

13Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, and He who will 8bear the honor and sit and 9rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a 10priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two 11offices.”’

14Now the 12crown will become a reminder in the temple of the Lord to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and 13Hen the son of Zephaniah.

15 14Those who are far off will come and 15build the temple of the Lord.” Then you will 16know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely 17obey the Lord your God.
