CHAPTER 3
Then the angel showed me
Joshua
the high
priest
standing
before
the Angel
of the LORD,
with Satan
standing
at
his right hand
to accuse him.
And the LORD
said
to
Satan:
“The LORD
rebukes
you,
Satan!
Indeed, the LORD,
who has chosen
Jerusalem,
rebukes you!
Is not
this man
a firebrand
snatched
from the fire?”
So the Angel of the LORD
said
to
those standing
before Him,
“Take off
his filthy
clothes!”
Then He said
to Joshua,
“See,
I have removed
your iniquity,
and I will clothe
you
with splendid robes.”
Then I said,
“Let them put
a clean
turban
on
his head.”
So a clean
turban
was placed
on
his head,
and they clothed him,
as the Angel
of the LORD
stood by.
“This is what
the LORD
of Hosts
says:
‘If
you walk
in My ways
and keep
My instructions,
then you
will both
govern
My house
and
have charge
of
My courts;
and I will give
you
a place
among
these
standing here.'
‘Hear
now,
O high
priest
Joshua,
you
and your companions
seated
before you,
who are indeed
a sign.
For
behold,
I am going to bring
My servant,
the Branch.
See
the stone
I have set
before
Joshua;
on
that one
stone
are seven
eyes.
Behold,
I will engrave on it
an inscription,’
declares
the LORD
of Hosts,
‘and I will remove
the iniquity
of this
land
in a single
day.
On that
day,’
declares
the LORD
of Hosts,
‘each
of you will invite
his neighbor
to
sit under
his vine
and
under
his fig tree.’”
