Zechariah 3

The Vision of Joshua the High Priest

1And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2And the LORD said to Satan, the LORD rebuke you, O Satan; yes, the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?

3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 4And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with festal robes.

5And I said, Let them set a clean turban upon his head. So they set the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of the LORD was standing by.

6And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, 7Thus says the LORD of hosts^a: If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge^b, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you free access among these that stand here.

8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows that sit before you, for they are men^c of wonder^d; for behold, I will bring my servant the Branch. 9For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its engraving, declares the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10In that day, declares the LORD of hosts, you shall call, every man to his neighbor, under the vine and under the fig tree.
