The Vision of Joshua the High Priest

[1] And he2 shewed me Joshua3 the high priest standing4 before the angel5 of the Lord, and Satan6 standing at his right hand to resist him7. [2] And the Lord said8 unto Satan, The Lord rebuke9 thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen10 Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a brand11 plucked out of the fire? [3] Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.12 [4] And he answered and spake unto those13 that stood before him, saying, Take14 away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have15 caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will16 clothe thee with change of raiment. [5] And I said, Let them set a fair17 mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by. [6] And the18 angel of the Lord protested19 unto Joshua, saying, [7] Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep20 my charge21, then thou shalt also judge22 my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will23 give thee places24 to walk among these that stand by. [8] Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit befor25e thee: for they [are] men wondered at26: for, behold, I will bring forth my27 servant the BRANCH28. [9] For behold the stone29 that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven30 eyes: behold, I will engrave31 the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove32 the iniquity of that land in one day. [10] In33 that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall34 ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
