< previous     ZECHARIAH - CHAPTER THREE     next >
1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing
before Jehovah’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his
adversary. 2 Jehovah said to Satan, “Jehovah rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Jehovah
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 of 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 Jehovah’s angel was standing by. 6 Jehovah’s angel protested to
Joshua, saying, 7 “Jehovah 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 engraving,’
says Jehovah of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one
day. 10 In that day,’ says Jehovah of Armies, ‘you will invite every man
his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
