OET-RV ZEC Chapter 3

3 Then Yahweh showed me the high priest Yehoshua (Joshua) standing in front of Yahweh’s messenger, and Satan was standing at his right to accuse him.[ref] 2 But Yahweh told Satan, “May Yahweh rebuke you, Satan—may Yahweh who’s chosen Yerushalem, rebuke you. Isn’t he energetic like a burning stick taken out of the fire?”[ref]

3 Now Yehoshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood in front of the messenger 4 who told those standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”

Then he said to Yehoshua, “Listen, I’ve taken away the guilt of your disobedience, and I’ll dress you in nice clothes.”

5 “Let them put a clean headband on his head,” I said, so they placed a clean headband on Yehoshua’s head and dressed him with new clothes, while Yahweh’s messenger was standing there watching.

6 Then he told Yehoshua, 7 “Army commander Yahweh says: If you’ll follow my instructions and obey my rules, then you can govern my temple and guard my courtyards, because I’ll allow you to walk among these who’re standing here. 8 Please listen, Yehoshua the high priest, as well as your companions sitting in front of you. Those these men are a sign, because I myself will bring out my servant ‘the branch’.[ref] 9 Now look at the stone that I’ve placed in front of Yehoshua—a single stone with seven faces cut on it. Army commander Yahweh declares that I will engrave an inscription on it, and I will remove the sin from this land in one day. 10 Army commander Yahweh declares that in that day, each man will invite his neighbour to sit under his grapevine or under his fig tree.”[ref]
