3:1 Then the Lord showed me the high priest Joshua, standing before the messenger from the Lord, and the Adversary was standing by his right side to accuse him.
3:2 And the Lord said to the Adversary: “The Lord rebukes you, Adversary. The Lord, the one choosing Jerusalem, rebukes you. Is this one not a log snatched from the fire?”
3:3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes and standing before the messenger.
3:4 He responded to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And he said to Joshua, “Look, I have removed your guilt from you. Put on priestly robes.”
3:5 He said, “Put a clean turban upon his head.” So they put the clean turban upon his head, and they dressed him in garments while the Lord’s messenger stood by.
3:7 “The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims: If you will walk in my paths, if you will keep my charge, then you will lead my house and guard my courts, and I will allow you to walk among those standing here.
3:8 Now listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your companions sitting before you— for these men are a sign— look, I am about to bring my servant, Branch.
3:9 See this stone that I have put before Joshua. Upon one stone, there are seven facets. I am about to engrave an inscription on it, says the Lord of heavenly forces. I will remove the guilt of that land in one day.
3:10 On that day, says the Lord of heavenly forces, everyone will invite their neighbors to sit beneath their vines and the fig trees.”
