11 How shall we magnify Zerubbabel?
    He was like a signet ring on the right hand,
12     and so was Jeshua son of Jozadak;
in their days they built the house
    and raised a temple[a] holy to the Lord,
    destined for everlasting glory.
13 The memory of Nehemiah also is lasting;
    he raised our fallen walls,
and set up gates and bars,
    and rebuilt our ruined houses.
