Zechariah 3

Fourth Vision: High Priest and Branch

3Then he showed me Joshua ^gthe high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, ^hwith Satan ^ijstanding at his right side to accuse him. ²The Lord ^ksaid 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?” ^l

³Now Joshua was dressed with filthy ^mclothes ⁿas he stood before the Angel. ^o4So the Angel of the Lord ^pspoke to those ^qstanding before Him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then He said to him, “See, I have removed your guilt from you, ^rand I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

⁵Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban ^son 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 Hosts says: If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, 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, Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring My servant, the Branch. ^t9Notice the stone ^uI have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. ^vI will engrave an inscription on it”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“and I will take away the guilt 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.” ^wThis is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.
