New International Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | Zec 3:1 | Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.
| |
| | Zec 3:2 | The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"
| |
| | Zec 3:3 | Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.
| |
| | Zec 3:4 | The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."
| |
| | Zec 3:5 | Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.
| |
| | Zec 3:6 | The angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:
| |
| | Zec 3:7 | "This is what the LORD Almighty says: `If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.
| |
| | Zec 3:8 | "`Listen, O high priest Joshua and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
| |
| | Zec 3:9 | See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,' says the LORD Almighty, `and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.
| |
| | Zec 3:10 | "`In that day each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree,' declares the LORD Almighty."
