1 Then he showed me ^jJoshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and ^kSatan¹ standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, ^l“The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has ^mchosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this ⁿa brand² plucked from the fire?” 3 Now ^jJoshua was standing before the angel, ^oclothed with filthy garments. 4 And the angel said to ^pthose who were standing before him, ^q“Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, ^rI have taken your iniquity away from you, and ^sI will clothe you with pure vestments.” 5 And I said, ^t“Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.

6 And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured ^jJoshua, 7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and ^ukeep my charge, then you shall ^vrule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among ^wthose who are standing here. 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for ^xthey are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring ^ymy servant ^zthe Branch. 9 For behold, on ^athe stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with ^bseven eyes,³ I will ^cengrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and ^dI will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10 In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come ^eunder his vine and under his fig tree.”

9 And the word of the Lord came to me: 10 “Take from the exiles ^xHeldai, Tobijah, and ^yJedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon, and go the same day to the house of Josiah, the son of ^zZephaniah. 11 Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, ^aand set it on the head of ^bJoshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is ^cthe Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and ^dhe shall build the temple of the Lord. 13 ^dIt is he who shall build the temple of the Lord ^eand shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there¹ shall be a ^fpriest on his throne, ^gand the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’ 14 And the crown shall be in the temple of the Lord as ^ha reminder to ⁱHelem,^{2 j}Tobijah, ^jJedaiah, and Hen ^jthe son of Zephaniah.

15 ^k“And those who are far off shall come and ^lhelp to build the temple of the Lord. ^mAnd you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. ⁿAnd this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”
