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.”
Zechariah 6:12–15
12 And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is the nBranch: for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. 13 It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there1 shall be a opriest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’ 14 And the crown shall be in the temple of the Lord as a reminder to Helem,2 Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah.
15 “And pthose who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the Lord. And you shall know that qthe Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”
Zechariah 9:9–11
9 iRejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
jhumble and kmounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 lI will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the war horse from Jerusalem;
and mthe battle bow shall be cut off,
and he shall speak npeace to the nations;
ohis rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from the River1 to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, pbecause of the qblood of my covenant with you,
I will rset your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
Zechariah 12:10
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and qpleas for mercy, so that, when rthey look on me, on him whom they have pierced, sthey shall mourn for him, as one mourns tfor an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.
Zechariah 13:1
1 “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to ucleanse them from sin and uncleanness.
Zechariah 13:7–9
7 “Awake, O sword, against my yshepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
z“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land, declares the Lord,
atwo thirds shall be cut off and perish,
and one third shall be left alive.
9 And I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them bas one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
They will call upon my name,
cand I will answer them.
dI will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
