Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. [footnote: The Hebrew reads "the satan," that is, "the accuser" or "the adversary."]
And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is this man not a brand snatched from the fire?"
Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
And the angel said to those standing before him, "Take the filthy garments off him." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you in fine robes."
And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they placed a clean turban on his head and clothed him in fresh garments, while the angel of the LORD stood by.
Then the angel of the LORD gave Joshua this charge:
"This is what the LORD of hosts says: If you walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you shall govern my house and watch over my courts, and I will give you a place among those who stand here.
Listen now, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions seated before you—for they are men who serve as a sign: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
For see, the stone I have set before Joshua: on that one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave an inscription on it, declares the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the guilt 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 the vine and under the fig tree."
