1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of
the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 And the
Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that
hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of
the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood
before the angel. 4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood
before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him
he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I
will clothe thee with change of raiment. 5 And I said, Let them set a
fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and
clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by.
6 And the
angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch. (Jesus Christ)
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
