and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king’s forest, that he give trees to me, that I may cover the gates of the tower of the house, and of the wall of the city, and the house, into which I shall enter. And the king gave the letters to me, by the good hand of my God with me.
And the forsaken things of world’s shall be builded in thee, and thou shalt raise the foundaments of generation and generation; and thou shalt be called, A builder of hedges, turning away the paths of wicked-nesses.
And they shall build things that be forsaken from the world, and they shall raise eld [or old] fallings, and they shall restore cities that be forsaken and destroyed, in generation and into generation.
Therefore know thou, and perceive; from the going out of the word that Jerusalem be builded again, till to Christ, the duke, shall be seven weeks of years and two and sixty weeks of years; and again the street shall be builded, and walls, in the anguish of times.
