Listen now, Joshua the high priest, both you and your colleagues who are sitting before you, all of you<n id="1" /> are a symbol that I am about to introduce my servant, the Branch.<n id="2" />

Indeed, he will build the temple of the <sc>Lord,sc> and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest<n id="1" /> with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.

by asking both the priests of the temple<n id="1" /> of the <sc>Lord who rules over allsc> and the prophets, &#8220;Should we weep in the fifth month,<n id="2" /> fasting as we have done over the years?&#8221;
