Zechariah 3:4-10 ▼

4 So the angel continued to tell those who were standing in his presence, |Remove his filthy clothes.| And he told Joshua, |Look how I've removed your iniquity. Now I'm clothing you with fine garments.|

5 Then I said, |Let them place a pure diadem on his head.| So they placed the pure diadem on his head and clothed him with fine garments while the angel of the LORD was standing beside them.

6 Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:

7 |This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: 'If you will live according to my ways, and if you will keep what I have entrusted to you, then you will also administer my Temple, and you will also guard my courtyards. And I will give you access to these who serve here.

8 |'Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and those companions of yours who sit with you, for these men are a sign that I am presenting my servant, the Branch.

9 Look, the stone that I put in place in Joshua's presence—on that one stone are seven eyes. And look, I will do the engraving myself,' declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, 'and I will remove the perversity of that land in a single day.

10 At that time,' declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, 'you will invite each of your neighbors to join you under the vine and fig tree.'|
