Zechariah’s Fourth Vision

1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing beforethe angel of Yahweh; and Satanwas standing on his right to accuse him.

2 But Yahweh said to Satan,“Yahweh rebukes you, O Satan!Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebukes you! Is this not a stick snatched from the fire?”

3 And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and was standing beforethe angel.

4 And he answered and said to the ones standing beforehim, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “See, I have taken away your guiltfrom you, and will clothe you with rich garments.”

5 And I said, “Let them put a clean headbandon his head.” And they put a clean headband on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

6 And the angel of Yahweh assured Joshua, saying,

7 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my requirements, then you will judgemy house, and you will also guard my courtyards, and I will give to you passagewaysamong these that are standing here.

8 Listen, please, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companionsthat are sitting beforeyou. For the men are a sign that,look, I am going to bring my servant the Branch.

9 For consider, the stone that I set beforeJoshua, on one stone are seven eyes.Look, I am going to engrave an inscription on it,’declaresYahweh of hosts, ‘and I will remove the guilt of that land in a single day.

10 On that day,’ declaresYahweh of hosts, ‘you will invite one anotherunder the vine and under the fig tree.’ ”
