12 And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is the nBranch: for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord.
13 It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there1 shall be a opriest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’
