1. The angel showed me Joshua the high priest, standing in front of the Angel of the Lord and Satan was standing by Joshua's right side. Satan was there to accuse Joshua of doing wrong.
|
1. And he showed H7200 me H853 Joshua H3091 the high H1419 priest H3548 standing H5975 before H6440 the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 , and Satan H7854 standing H5975 at H5921 his right hand H3225 to resist H7853 him.
|
|
2. Then {the angel of} the Lord said, "The Lord says that you are wrong, and he will continue to correct you! The Lord has chosen Jerusalem to be his special city. He saved that city�it was like a burning stick pulled from the fire."
|
2. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Satan H7854 , The LORD H3068 rebuke H1605 thee , O Satan H7854 ; even the LORD H3068 that hath chosen H977 Jerusalem H3389 rebuke H1605 thee: is not H3808 this H2088 a brand H181 plucked H5337 out of the fire H4480 H784 ?

3. Joshua was wearing a dirty robe as he stood in front of the angel.
|
3. Now Joshua H3091 was H1961 clothed H3847 with filthy H6674 garments H899 , and stood H5975 before H6440 the angel H4397 .
|
|
4. Then the angel said to the other angels standing near him, "Take those dirty clothes off Joshua." Then the angel spoke to Joshua. He said, "Now, I have taken away your guilt, and I am giving you a new change of clothes."
|
4. And he answered H6030 and spoke H559 unto H413 those that stood H5975 before H6440 him, saying H559 , Take away H5493 the filthy H6674 garments H899 from H4480 H5921 him . And unto H413 him he said H559 , Behold H7200 , I have caused thine iniquity H5771 to pass H5674 from H4480 H5921 thee , and I will clothe H3847 thee with change of raiment H4254 .
|
|
5. Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put the clean turban on him and also put clean clothes on him while the Lord's angel stood there.
|
5. And I said H559 , Let them set H7760 a fair H2889 miter H6797 upon H5921 his head H7218 . So they set H7760 a fair H2889 miter H6797 upon H5921 his head H7218 , and clothed H3847 him with garments H899 . And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 stood by H5975 .
|
|
6. Then the Lord's angel said this to Joshua:
|
6. And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 protested H5749 unto Joshua H3091 , saying H559 ,
|
|
7. This is what the Lord All-Powerful said: "Live the way I tell you, and do everything I say. And you will be in charge of my Temple. You will take care of its courtyard. You will be free to go anywhere in my Temple, just as these angels standing here.
|
7. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; If H518 thou wilt walk H1980 in my ways H1870 , and if H518 thou wilt keep H8104 H853 my charge H4931 , then thou H859 shalt also H1571 judge H1777 H853 my house H1004 , and shalt also H1571 keep H8104 my H853 courts H2691 , and I will give H5414 thee places to walk H4108 among H996 these H428 that stand H5975 by.

|
8. Listen, Joshua, you who are high priest, and listen, you fellow priests seated before him. You are all examples to show what will happen when I bring my special servant. He is called, The Branch.
|
8. Hear H8085 now H4994 , O Joshua H3091 the high H1419 priest H3548 , thou H859 , and thy fellows H7453 that sit H3427 before H6440 thee: for H3588 they H1992 are men H376 wondered H4159 at: for H3588 , behold H2009 , I will bring forth H935 H853 my servant H5650 the BRANCH H6780 .
|
|
9. Look, I put a special stone in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on that stone. I will carve a special message on it. This will show that in one day, I will remove the guilt from this land."
|
9. For H3588 behold H2009 the stone H68 that H834 I have laid H5414 before H6440 Joshua H3091 ; upon H5921 one H259 stone H68 shall be seven H7651 eyes H5869 : behold H2009 , I will engrave H6605 the graving H6603 thereof, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , and I will remove H4185 H853 the iniquity H5771 of that H1931 land H776 in one H259 day H3117 .
|
|
10. The Lord All-Powerful says, "At that time people will sit and talk with their friends and neighbors. They will invite each other to sit under the fig trees and grapevines."
|
10. In that H1931 day H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , shall ye call H7121 every man H376 his neighbor H7453 under H413 H8478 the vine H1612 and under H413 H8478 the fig tree H8384 .
