1 He
showed me Joshua
the high priest
standing before
the LORD’s angel,
and Satan standing
at his right
hand to be
his adversary.
2 The
LORD said to Satan,
“The LORD rebuke
you, Satan! Yes,
the LORD who
has chosen Jerusalem
rebuke you! Isn’t
this a burning stick
plucked out of
the fire?”
3 Now
Joshua was clothed
with filthy garments,
and was standing
before the angel.
4 He
answered and spoke
to those who
stood before him,
saying, “Take the
filthy garments off
him.” To him
he said, “Behold,
I have caused
your iniquity to
pass from you,
and I will
clothe you
with rich clothing.”
5 I said, “Let
them set a
clean turban on
his head.”
So they set
a clean turban
on his head,
and clothed him;
and the LORD’s
angel was standing
by.
6 The
LORD’s angel
solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
7 “The
LORD of Armies
says: ‘If you will
walk in my
ways, and if you
will follow my
instructions, then
you also shall
judge my house,
and shall also
keep my courts,
and I will
give you a
place of access among
these who stand
by.
8 Hear
now, Joshua the
high priest, you
and your fellows
who sit before
you, for they
are men who
are a sign;
for, behold, I
will bring out my
servant, the
Branch.
9 For,
behold, the stone
that I have
set before Joshua:
on one stone are
seven eyes; behold,
I will engrave
its inscription,’
says the LORD
of Armies, ‘and
I will remove
the iniquity of
that land in
one day.
10 In
that day,’ says
the LORD of
Armies, ‘you will
invite every man
his neighbor under
the vine and
under the fig
tree.’ ”
