7 Who are you, ⁿO great mountain? Before ^lZerubbabel ^oyou shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward ^pthe top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

8 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 ^q“The hands of ^lZerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also ^rcomplete it. ^sThen you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

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