Dual Panel1Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
2The angel said to Satan, “The LORD silence you, Satan! May the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, silence you! Is not this man a brand snatched from the fire?”
3Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood before the angel,
4who now said to those in attendance on him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then to Joshua he said, “See how I have taken away your guilt from you; and I shall clothe you in fine vestments.
5Let a clean turban be put on his head,” he ordered. So while the angel of the LORD stood by, they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him in clean garments.
6The angel gave Joshua this solemn charge:
7“These are the words of the LORD of Hosts: If you conform to my ways and carry out your duties towards me, you are to administer my house and be in control of my courts, and I shall grant you the right to come and go amongst these in attendance here.
8Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your colleagues seated here before you, for they are an omen of good things to come: I shall now bring my servant, the Branch.
9In a single day I shall wipe away the guilt of this land. On that day, says the LORD of Hosts, you are to invite each other to come and sit under your vines and fig trees. “Here is the stone that I set before Joshua, a stone on which are seven eyes. I shall reveal its meaning to you, says the LORD of Hosts.”
