Zechariah 3

1 Then he showed me fJoshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and gSatan1 hstanding at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, i“The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a jbrand2 plucked from the fire?” 3 Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. 4 And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will kclothe you with pure vestments.” 5 And I said, “Let them put a clean lturban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.

6 And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured Joshua, 7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, 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 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring my servant the mBranch. 9 For behold, on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with nseven eyes,3 I will engrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the oiniquity of this land in a single day. 10 In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, pevery one of you will invite his neighbor to come under his vine and under his fig tree.”
