Vision of the High Priest

1 Then he showed meJoshua the high priest standing before the Angel of theLord, andSatan standing at his right hand to oppose him.

2 And theLordsaid to Satan,“TheLordrebuke you, Satan! TheLordwhohas chosen Jerusalem rebuke you!Isthis not a brand plucked from the fire?”

3 Now Joshua was clothed withfilthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.

4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you,and I will clothe you with rich robes.”

5 And I said, “Let them put a cleanturban on his head.”

So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of theLordstood by.

The Coming Branch

6 Then the Angel of theLordadmonished Joshua, saying,

7 “Thus says theLordof hosts:

‘If you will walk in My ways,

And if you willkeep My command,

Then you shall alsojudge My house,

And likewise have charge of My courts;

I will give you places to walk

Among these whostand here.

8 ‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest,

You and your companions who sit before you,

For they area wondrous sign;

For behold, I am bringing forthMy Servant theBRANCH.

9 For behold, the stone

That I have laid before Joshua:

Upon the stoneareseven eyes.

Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’

Says theLordof hosts,

‘AndI will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 In that day,’ says theLordof hosts,

‘Everyone will invite his neighbor

Under his vine and under his fig tree.’ ”
