Zechariah’s Fourth Vision

3And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing beforea the angel of Yahweh; and Satanb was standing on his right to accuse him. 2But Yahweh said to Satan,c “Yahweh rebukes you, O Satan!d Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebukes you! Is this not a stick snatched from the fire?” 3And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and was standing beforee the angel. 4And he answered and said to the ones standing beforef him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “See, I have taken away your guiltg from you, and will clothe you with rich garments.” 5And I said, “Let them put a clean headbandh on his head.” And they put a clean headband on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

6And the angel of Yahweh assured Joshua, saying, 7“Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my requirements, then you will judgei my house, and you will also guard my courtyards, and I will give to you passagewaysj among these that are standing here. 8Listen, please, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companionsk that are sitting beforel you. For the men are a sign that,m look, I am going to bring my servant the Branch.n 9For consider, the stone that I set beforeo Joshua, on one stone are seven eyes.p Look, I am going to engrave an inscription on it,’q declaresr Yahweh of hosts, ‘and I will remove the guilt of that land in a single day. 10On that day,’ declaress Yahweh of hosts, ‘you will invite one anothert under the vine and under the fig tree.’ ”
