Zechariah 3 : 1 - 10
Chapter 3
1 | Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. |
2 | And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" |
3 | Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. |
4 | Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes." |
5 | And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the LORD stood by. |
6 | Then the Angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, |
7 | "Thus says the LORD of hosts: "If you will walk in My ways, And if you will keep My command, Then you shall also judge My house, And likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk Among these who stand here. |
8 | "Hear, O Joshua, the high priest, You and your companions who sit before you, For they are a wondrous sign; For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH. |
9 | For behold, the stone That I have laid before Joshua: Upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,' Says the LORD of hosts, "And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. |
10 | In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, "Everyone will invite his neighbor Under his vine and under his fig tree."' |
