# Zechariah 3
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?”
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.”
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
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 garments. And the angel of the LORD was standing by.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. And the angel of the LORD solemnly assured Joshua,
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. “Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, 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.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring my servant the Branch.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. For behold, on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with seven eyes, I will engrave its inscription, declares the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. In that day, declares the LORD of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come under his vine and under his fig tree.”
