Zechariah 3

FOURTH VISION: HIGH PRIEST AND BRANCH

3Then he showed me the high priest Joshua^h standing before the angel of the Lord,ⁱ with Satan^Ej standing at his right side to accuse him. ²The Lord^F 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

³Now Joshua was dressed with filthy^G clothes^l as he stood before the angel.^{m 4}So the angel of the Lord^A spoke to those^B 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.”

⁵Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban^o 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.

⁶Then 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 stone^q 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. ¹⁰On 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.
