New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Zechariah 6
11 Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Then say to him, ’Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the Lord.
13 Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."’
14 Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the Lord to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.
15 Those who are far off will come and build the temple of the Lord." Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the Lord your God.
Zechariah 7
1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev.
2 Now the town of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regemmelech and their men to seek the favor of the Lord,
3 speaking to the priests who belong to the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Shall I weep in the fifth month and abstain, as I have done these many years?"
4 Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
5 "Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, ’When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months these seventy years, was it actually for Me that you fasted?
6 When you eat and drink, do you not eat for yourselves and do you not drink for yourselves?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
