Zechariah 3
A Vision of Joshua the High Priest
Then he showed me aJoshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and bSatan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, a“The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has bchosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this ca brand plucked from the fire?” 3 Now aJoshua was standing before the angel, bclothed with filthy garments. 4 And the angel said to athose who were standing before him, b“Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, cI have taken your iniquity away from you, and dI will clothe you with pure vestments.” 5 And I said, a“Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.
6 And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured aJoshua, 7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and akeep my charge, then you shall brule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among cthose who are standing here. 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for athey are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring bmy servant cthe Branch. 9 For behold, on athe stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with bseven eyes, I will cengrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and dI will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10 In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come aunder his vine and under his fig tree.”
