          DASV: Zechariah 3

1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before
the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand
to accuse him.
2 The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan. Yes,
the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Is not this man
like a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he was standing
before the angel.
4 The angel spoke to those standing in front of him, "Take the
filthy clothes off him." Then he said to Joshua, "Look, I have
taken away your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you
with festive garments."
5 Then I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So
they put a clean turban on his head, and dressed him with festive
garments, while the angel of the LORD was standing by.
6 Then the angel of the LORD promised Joshua, saying,
7 "This is what the LORD of hosts says: 'If you will walk in my
ways, if you will keep my command then you will preside over
my house, and also be in charge of my courtyards. I will give
you access among these who stand here.
8 Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions
who sit before you; for they are a portend of things to come
for I am going to introduce my servant, the Branch.
9 For look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one
stone there are seven facets. I will engrave the inscription
on it,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the
iniquity of this land in one day.
10 On that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'everyone will invite
their neighbor to rest peacefully under their vine and
under their fig tree.'"
