He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
2 And Yhwh said unto Satan, Yhwh rebuke thee, O Satan; even Yhwh that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
YHWH said to Satan, "YHWH rebuke you, Satan. Yes, YHWH 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 stood before the angel.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
4 And 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.
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
5 And 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 Yhwh stood by.
I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of YHWH was standing by.

The angel of YHWH protested to Joshua, saying,
7 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; 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.
"Thus says YHWH of hosts: '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, 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.
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Yhwh of Armies, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says YHWH of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In that day, saith Yhwh of Armies, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
In that day,' says YHWH of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
