Zechariah 3:1-3

Living Bible

3 Then the Angel showed me (in my vision) Joshua the High Priest standing before the Angel of the Lord; and Satan was there too, at the Angel’s right hand, accusing Joshua of many things.

² And the Lord said to Satan, “I reject your accusations, Satan;^[a] yes, I, the Lord, for I have decided to be merciful to Jerusalem—I rebuke you. I have decreed mercy to Joshua and his nation; they are like a burning stick pulled out of the fire.”

³ Joshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood before the Angel of the Lord.
