Fourth Vision: High Priest and Branch
1 Then he showed me the high priest Joshua x standing before the angel of the LORD, y with Satan H,z standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 The LORD I said to Satan: “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! May the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this man a burning stick snatched from the fire? ” a
3 Now Joshua was dressed with filthy J clothes b as he stood before the angel. c 4 So the angel of the LORD K spoke to those L standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes! ” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, d and I will clothe you with festive robes.”
5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban e on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the angel of the LORD was standing nearby.
6 Then the angel of the LORD charged Joshua: 7 “This is what the LORD of Armies says: If you walk in my ways and keep my mandates, you will both rule my house and take care of my courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.
8 “Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring my servant, the Branch. f 9 Notice the stone g I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. h I will engrave an inscription on it”—this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies—“and I will take away the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10 On that day, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree.” i This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.
