Zechariah 3

Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Switch Version:

¹ Then he showed me the high priest Joshua ⓔ standing before the angel of the LORD, ⓕ with Satan [1] ⓖ standing at his right side to accuse him.

² The LORD [2] 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?” ⓗ

³ Now Joshua was dressed with filthy [3] clothes ⓘ as he stood before the angel. ⓙ

⁴ So the angel of the LORD [4] spoke to those [5] standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, ⓚ and I will clothe you with festive robes.”

⁵ Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban ⓛ 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. ⓜ

⁹ Notice the stone ⓝ I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. ⓐ 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.” ⓑ This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.
