NASB Bible

Zechariah 3

Joshua, the High Priest

1

Then he showed me  aJoshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and  1 bSatan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2

The LORD said to Satan, " aThe LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has  bchosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a  cbrand plucked from the fire?"

3

Now Joshua was clothed with  afilthy garments and standing before the angel.

4

He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, " aRemove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have  btaken your iniquity away from you and  1will  cclothe you with festal robes."

5

Then I said, "Let them put a clean  aturban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the LORD was standing by.

6

And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying,

7

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, `If you will  awalk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also  bgovern My house and also have charge of My  ccourts, and I will grant you  1free access among these who are standing here.

The Branch

8

`Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are a  asymbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the  1 bBranch.

9

`For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are  aseven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,' declares the LORD of hosts, `and I will  bremove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10

`In that day,' declares the LORD of hosts, `every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his  avine and under his fig tree.' "
