KJV ORIGINAL
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
This person is going to build God's temple and carry all the honor that comes with it. He'll sit on his throne as both king and priest at the same time — which is wild because those were usually separate jobs. And there's going to be perfect harmony between these two roles.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes God combines roles in ways that seem impossible but create perfect balance.
