1 A nd he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

Then showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua’s right hand to be his adversary and to accuse him.

2 A nd Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan! Yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

3 A nd Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel.

4 A nd he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes.

And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And He said to, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.

5 A nd I said, Let them set a pure turban upon his head. And they set the pure turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by.

And I said, 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 stood by.

6 A nd the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,

And the Angel of the Lord protested and affirmed to Joshua, saying,

7 T hus saith Jehovah 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 a place to walk among these that stand by.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access and places to walk among these who stand here.

8 H ear now, Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee—for they are men of portent—for behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who sit before you—for they are men who are a sign or omen —for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch.

9 F or behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua—upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day.

For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes or facets. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day.

10 I n that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.

In that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall invite each man his neighbor under his own vine and his own fig tree.
