Zechariah 6:13-15

Contemporary English Version

^12-13 (A) Tell him that I, the Lord All-Powerful, say, “Someone will reach out from here like a branch and build a temple for me. I will name him ‘Branch,’ and he will rule with royal honors. A priest will stand beside his throne,^[a] and the two of them will be good friends. ¹⁴ This crown will be kept in my temple as a reminder and will be taken care of by Heldai,^[b] Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah.”^[c]

¹⁵ When people from distant lands come and help build the temple of the Lord All-Powerful, you will know that the Lord is the one who sent me. And this will happen, if you truly obey the Lord your God.
