Zechariah 3

Fourth Vision: Joshua and Satan

³Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of the Lord and the accuser^g standing at his right hand to accuse him.^{* 2}And the Lord said to the accuser,^h “The Lord rebuke you, O accuser!ⁱ The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked from the fire?”^{* 3}Now Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. ⁴The angel^j said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And to him he said, “See, I have taken your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you with festal apparel.”^{* 5}And he said,^k “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with apparel, and the angel of the Lord was standing by.^*

⁶Then the angel of the Lord warned Joshua, saying ⁷“Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.^{* 8}Now listen, Joshua, high priest, you and your colleagues who sit before you! For they are an omen of things to come: I am going to bring my servant the Branch.^{* 9}For on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with seven facets, I will engrave its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day.^{* 10}On that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall invite each other to come under your vine and fig tree.”^*
