Zechariah 3:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ This is what the Lord All-Powerful said:
“Live the way I tell you,
    and do everything I say.
And you will be in charge of my Temple.
    You will take care of its courtyard.
You will be free to go anywhere in my Temple,
    just as these angels standing here.
⁸ Listen, Joshua, you who are the high priest,
    and listen, you fellow priests seated before him.
You are all examples to show what will happen when I bring my special servant.
    He is called, the Branch.
⁹ Look, I put a special stone in front of Joshua.
    There are seven sides^[a] on that stone.
I will carve a special message on it.
    This will show that in one day, I will remove the guilt from this land.”
