Zechariah 3 (WEBP)
[1] He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
[2] Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”
[3] Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
[4] He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
[5] I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh’s angel was standing by.
[6] Yahweh’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
[7] “Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
[8] Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.
[9] For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
[10] In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”

Zechariah 3 (KJVS)
[1] And he shewed H7200 (HiphImpf) me Joshua H3091 the high H1419 priest H3548 standing H5975 (QalActPtc) before H6440 the angel H4397 of the Lord, H3068 and Satan° H7854 standing H5975 (QalActPtc) at his right hand H3225 to resist H7853 (QalInf) him.§
[2] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Satan, H7854 The Lord H3068 rebuke H1605 (QalImpf) thee, O Satan; H7854 even the Lord H3068 that hath chosen H977 (QalActPtc) Jerusalem H3389 rebuke H1605 (QalImpf) thee: is not this a brand H181 plucked H5337 (HophPtc) out of the fire? H784
[3] Now Joshua H3091 was clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with filthy H6674 garments, H899 and stood H5975 (QalActPtc) before H6440 the angel. H4397
[4] And he answered H6030 (QalImpf) and spake H559 (QalImpf) unto those that stood H5975 (QalActPtc) before H6440 him, saying, H559 (QalInf) Take away H5493 (HiphImpv) the filthy H6674 garments H899 from him. And unto him he said, H559 (QalImpf) Behold, H7200 (QalImpv) I have caused thine iniquity H5771 to pass H5674 (HiphPerf) from thee, and I will clothe H3847 (HiphInf) thee with change of raiment. H4254
[5] And I said, H559 (QalImpf) Let them set H7760 (QalImpf) a fair H2889 mitre H6797 upon his head. H7218 So they set H7760 (QalImpf) a fair H2889 mitre H6797 upon his head, H7218 and clothed H3847 (HiphImpf) him with garments. H899 And the angel H4397 of the Lord H3068 stood by. H5975 (QalActPtc)
[6] And the angel H4397 of the Lord H3068 protested H5749 (HiphImpf) unto Joshua, H3091 saying, H559 (QalInf)
[7] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts; H6635 If thou wilt walk H3212 (QalImpf) in my ways, H1870 and if thou wilt keep H8104 (QalImpf) my charge,§ H4931 then thou shalt also judge H1777 (QalImpf) my house, H1004 and shalt also keep H8104 (QalImpf) my courts, H2691 and I will give H5414 (QalPerf) thee places§ to walk H4108 (HiphPtc) among these that stand by. H5975 (QalActPtc)
[8] Hear H8085 (QalImpv) now, O Joshua H3091 the high H1419 priest, H3548 thou, and thy fellows H7453 that sit H3427 (QalActPtc) before H6440 thee: for they are men H582 wondered§ at: H4159 for, behold, I will bring forth H935 (HiphPtc) my servant H5650 the BRANCH. H6780
[9] For behold the stone H68 that I have laid H5414 (QalPerf) before H6440 Joshua; H3091 upon one H259 stone H68 shall be seven H7651 eyes: H5869 behold, I will engrave H6605 (PielPtc) the graving H6603 thereof, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 and I will remove H4185 (QalPerf) the iniquity H5771 of that land H776 in one H259 day. H3117
[10] In that day, H3117 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 shall ye call H7121 (QalImpf) every man H376 his neighbour H7453 under the vine H1612 and under the fig tree. H8384

[1] και εδειξεν μοι ιησουν τον ιερεα τον μεγαν εστωτα προ προσωπου αγγελου κυριου και ο διαβολος ειστηκει εκ δεξιων αυτου του αντικεισθαι αυτω
[2] και ειπεν κυριος προς τον διαβολον επιτιμησαι κυριος εν σοι διαβολε και επιτιμησαι κυριος εν σοι ο εκλεξαμενος την ιερουσαλημ ουκ ιδου τουτο ως δαλος εξεσπασμενος εκ πυρος
[3] και ιησους ην ενδεδυμενος ιματια ρυπαρα και ειστηκει προ προσωπου του αγγελου
[4] και απεκριθη και ειπεν προς τους εστηκοτας προ προσωπου αυτου λεγων αφελετε τα ιματια τα ρυπαρα απ αυτου και ειπεν προς αυτον ιδου αφηρηκα τας ανομιας σου και ενδυσατε αυτον ποδηρη
[5] και επιθετε κιδαριν καθαραν επι την κεφαλην αυτου και περιεβαλον αυτον ιματια και επεθηκαν κιδαριν καθαραν επι την κεφαλην αυτου και ο αγγελος κυριου ειστηκει
[6] και διεμαρτυρατο ο αγγελος κυριου προς ιησουν λεγων
[7] ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ εαν εν ταις οδοις μου πορευη και εαν τα προσταγματα μου φυλαξης και συ διακρινεις τον οικον μου και εαν διαφυλαξης και γε την αυλην μου και δωσω σοι αναστρεφομενους εν μεσω των εστηκοτων τουτων
[8] ακουε δη ιησου ο ιερευς ο μεγας συ και οι πλησιον σου οι καθημενοι προ προσωπου σου διοτι ανδρες τερατοσκοποι εισι διοτι ιδου εγω αγω τον δουλον μου ανατολην
[9] διοτι ο λιθος ον εδωκα προ προσωπου ιησου επι τον λιθον τον ενα επτα οφθαλμοι εισιν ιδου εγω ορυσσω βοθρον λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και ψηλαφησω πασαν την αδικιαν της γης εκεινης εν ημερα μια
[10] εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ συγκαλεσετε εκαστος τον πλησιον αυτου υποκατω αμπελου και υποκατω συκης
