THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH

 

Zechariah Chapter 3

1 ¶ And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

2 And the angel of the LORD said to Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; may the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, as he stood before the angel.

4 Then the angel spoke and said to those who stood before him, Remove the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have removed your sins from you, and I will clothe you with glorious apparel.

5 And I said, Let them place a clean turban upon his head. So they placed a clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with rich garments. And the angel of the LORD was standing nearby.

6 And the angel of the LORD solemnly assured Joshua, saying,

7 The LORD of hosts says this; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will do what I tell you, then you will also rule my house, and watch over my courts, and I will give you the right to walk among these standing here.

8 ¶ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your friends who sit before you: for you men stand for something wonderful to come: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

9 Notice the stone that I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave an inscription on it, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the sin of this land in one day.

10 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.
