Zechariah, Chapter 3
|
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 |
Thussaith 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.
|
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.
