Zechariah 3
1 He showed me Joshua the high priest, standing before the Angel of the LORD, with the Accuser standing at his right hand to accuse him.
2 The LORD said to the Accuser, “May the LORD rebuke you, Accuser! May the LORD, who chose Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is this man not a burning stick snatched from the fire?”
3 Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes, standing before the angel.
4 The angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “Look, I have taken your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you in festive garments.”
5 I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put the clean turban on his head and dressed him in the garments, while the Angel of the LORD stood there.
6 The Angel of the LORD warned Joshua:
7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “If you walk in my ways and keep what I command, then you will also govern my house and guard my courts. I will give you free access among those standing here.
8 Listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions sitting before you, for they are men of signs: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
9 Look at the stone I have set before Joshua: on this one stone are seven eyes. I myself will engrave its inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the guilt of that land in a single day.
10 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will invite one another to come under the vine and the fig tree.”
