Dual Panel1THEN [the guiding angel] showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua's right hand to be his adversary {and} to accuse him.
2And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who [now and habitually] chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this [returned captive Joshua] a brand plucked out of the fire?
3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel [of the Lord].
4And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And He said to [Joshua], Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.
5And I [Zechariah] said, Let them put a clean turban on his head. So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with [rich] garments. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.
6And the Angel of the Lord [solemnly and earnestly] protested {and} affirmed to Joshua, saying,
7Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access [to My presence] {and} places to walk among these who stand here.
8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you--for they are men who are a sign {or} omen [types of what is to come]--for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch.
9For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes {or} facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity {and} guilt of this land in a single day.
10In that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall invite each man his neighbor under his own vine and his own fig tree.
