Zechariah 3:1–10
FOURTH VISION: HIGH PRIEST AND BRANCH
3 Then he showed me the high priest Joshuah standing before the angel of the Lord,i with SatanD,j standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 The LordE said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! May the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”k
3 Now Joshua was dressed with filthyF clothesl as he stood before the angel.m 4 So the angel of the LordG spoke to thoseH standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you,n and I will clothe you with festive robes.”
5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turbano on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the angel of the Lord was standing nearby.
6 Then the angel of the Lord charged Joshua, 7 “This is what the Lord of Armies says: If you walk in my ways and keep my mandates, you will both rule my house and take care of my courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.
8 “Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring my servant, the Branch.p 9 Notice the stoneq I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes.r I will engrave an inscription on it”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—“and I will take away the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10 On that day, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree.”s This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
