Zechariah 3

Fourth Vision: High Priest and Branch

¹Then he showed me the high priest Joshua ^a standing before the angel of the Lord, ^b with Satan ^c,^d standing at his right side to accuse him. ²The Lord^e said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! May the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this man a burning stick snatched from the fire? ” ^f

³Now Joshua was dressed with filthy ^g clothes ^h as he stood before the angel. ^{i 4}So the angel of the Lord^j spoke to those ^k standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes! ” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, ^l and I will clothe you with festive robes.”

⁵Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban ^m on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the angel of the Lord was standing nearby.

⁶Then the angel of the Lord charged Joshua, ⁷“This is what the Lord of Armies says: If you walk in my ways and keep my mandates, you will both rule my house and take care of my courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.

⁸“Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring my servant, the Branch. ^{n 9}Notice the stone ^o I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. ^p I will engrave an inscription on it” #— #this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies #— #“and I will take away the iniquity of this land in a single day. ¹⁰On that day, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree.” ^q This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
