¹ THEN showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua's right hand to be his adversary and to accuse him. ² And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? ³ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel . ⁴ And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And He said to , Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel. ⁵ And I said, Let them put a clean turban on his head. So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the Angel of the Lord stood by. ⁶ And the Angel of the Lord protested and affirmed to Joshua, saying, ⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access and places to walk among these who stand here. ⁸ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who sit before you--for they are men who are a sign or omen --for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch. ⁹ For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes or facets . Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day. ¹⁰ In that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall invite each man his neighbor under his own vine and his own fig tree.
