1And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the
Lord, and Satan was standing on his right
hand side to oppose him.
2And the
Lord said to Satan, “May the
Lord rebuke you, Satan, may the
Lord, who chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you.
Isn't this
man a firebrand rescued from the fire?”
3Now Joshua was clothed
in filthy garments, and
he was standing before the angel.
4And
the angel reacted and spoke to those standing before him and said, “Take the filthy clothes off him.” And he said to
Joshua, “Look, I have remitted your iniquity, and
I have clothed you
in costly dress.”
5Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” And they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him
in garments, while the angel of the
Lord stood
by.
6Then the angel of the
Lord testified to Joshua and said,
7“This
is what the
Lord of hosts says: ‘If you walk in my paths, and if you keep my charge, then you too will govern my house, and you will guard my courts, and I will give you
right of way between these who are standing by.
8Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues sitting before you, for they
are significant men. For I am about to bring
in my servant the Branch.
9For here
is the stone which I have put before Joshua.
There will be seven eyes on one stone. I am about to incise its engraving, says the
Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day.
10On that day, says the
Lord of hosts, each of you will call to his neighbour, under the vine and under the fig tree.’ ”
