Zechariah 3
New American Standard Bible 2020
Joshua, the High Priest
1Then he showedH7200 me 1JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, and 23SatanH7854 standingH5975 at his rightH3225 to accuseH7853 him. 2And the LordH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, “4The LordH3068 rebukeH1605 you, SatanH7854! Indeed, the LordH3068 who has 5chosenH977 JerusalemH3389 rebukeH1605 you! Is thisH2088 not a 6logH181 snatchedH5337 from the fireH784?” 3Now JoshuaH3091 was clothedH3847 in 7filthyH6674 garmentsH899 and was standingH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397. 4And he respondedH6030 and saidH559 to those who were standingH5975 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, “8RemoveH5493 the filthyH6674 garmentsH899 from him.” Again he saidH559 to him, “SeeH7200, I have 9takenH5674 your guiltH5771 awayH5674 from you and 10will 11clotheH3847 you with festiveH4254 robesH4254.” 5Then I saidH559, “Have them putH7760 a cleanH2889 12headbandH6797 on his headH7218.” So they putH7760 the cleanH2889 headbandH6797 on his headH7218 and clothedH3847 him with garmentsH899, while the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 was standingH5975 by.
6And the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 admonishedH5749 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, 7“The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘IfH518 you 13walkH1980 in My waysH1870 and performH8104 My serviceH4931, then you will bothH1571 14governH1777 My houseH1004 and beH8104 inH8104 chargeH8104 ofH8104 My 15courtyardsH2691, and I will grantH5414 you 16freeH4109 accessH4109 amongH996 theseH428 who are standingH5975 here.
The Branch
8NowH4994 listenH8085, JoshuaH3091, you highH1419 priestH3548, you and your friendsH7453 who are sittingH3427 in frontH6440 of you--indeedH3588 they are menH376 who are a 17signH4159: for beholdH2009, I am going to bringH935 inH935 My servantH5650 the 1819BranchH6780. 9For beholdH2009, the stoneH68 that I have putH5414 beforeH6440 JoshuaH3091; on oneH259 stoneH68 are 20sevenH7651 eyesH5869. BeholdH2009, I am going to engraveH6605 an inscriptionH6603 on it,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, ‘and I will 21removeH4185 the guiltH5771 of that landH776 in oneH259 dayH3117. 10On that dayH3117,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, ‘everyH376 oneH376 of you will inviteH7121 his neighborH7453 to sit underH8478 his 22vineH1612 and underH8478 his figH8384 treeH8384.’”
