The Trial of the High Priest
1And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. 2And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 4And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 5And I said, Let them set a fair 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.
6And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 7Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. 8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. 9For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.

A Vision of Joshua the High Priest
1Then he showed me #ch. 6:11; See Ezra 3:2Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and #[1 Chr. 21:1; Ps. 109:6]Satan#3:1 Hebrew the Accuser or the Adversary standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2And the Lord said to Satan, #Jude 9“The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has #ch. 1:17; [Rom. 8:33] chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this #Amos 4:11a brand#3:2 That is, a burning stick plucked from the fire?” 3Now #[See ver. 1 above] Joshua was standing before the angel, #[Isa. 64:6; Jude 23]clothed with filthy garments. 4And the angel said to #[ver. 7; Luke 1:19] those who were standing before him, #Rev. 7:14“Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, #[ver. 9; Isa. 6:7] I have taken your iniquity away from you, and #Isa. 61:10; Luke 15:22; Rev. 19:8I will clothe you with pure vestments.” 5And I said, #Job 29:14; [ch. 6:11]“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.
6And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured #[See ver. 1 above]Joshua, 7“Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and #Gen. 26:5; Mal. 3:14; See Lev. 8:35keep my charge, then you shall #[Deut. 17:9; Mal. 2:7] rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among #[ver. 4]those who are standing here. 8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for #[Ezek. 12:11] they are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring #See Isa. 42:1my servant #ch. 6:12; Isa. 11:1; See Jer. 23:5the Branch. 9For behold, on #Ps. 118:22; Isa. 28:16; [ch. 4:7]; See Ezra 3:9-11the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with #ch. 4:10; Rev. 5:6seven eyes,#3:9 Or facets I will #[2 Tim. 2:19] engrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and #[ver. 4]I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come #See 1 Kgs. 4:25under his vine and under his fig tree.”
