Zechariah 3:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, while the adversary stood at his right side to accuse him.

2. And the angel of the Lord said to the adversary, “May the Lord rebuke you, O adversary; may the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”

3. Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clad in filthy garments.

4. Then the angel said to those standing before him, “Remove his filthy garments.” And to him he said, “Look, I have taken your guilt from you, and I am clothing you in stately robes.”

5. Then he said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” And they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with the garments while the angel of the Lord was standing by.
