3:1
Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
3:2
And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked from the fire?"
3:3
Now Joshua was dressed with filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.
3:4
The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." And to him he said, "See, I have taken your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you with festal apparel."
3:5
And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with the apparel; and the angel of the LORD was standing by.
3:6
Then the angel of the LORD assured Joshua, saying
3:7
"Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.
3:8
Now listen, Joshua, high priest, you and your colleagues who sit before you! For they are an omen of things to come: I am going to bring my servant the Branch.
3:9
For on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with seven facets, I will engrave its inscription, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day.
3:10
On that day, says the LORD of hosts, you shall invite each other to come under your vine and fig tree."
