Zechariah 3:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And I said, Let them [a]set a fair diadem upon his head. So they set a fair diadem upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the Angel of the Lord stood by.
6 And the Angel of the Lord testified unto Joshua, saying,
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, If thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my watch, thou shalt also [b]judge mine house, and shalt also keep my [c]courts, and I will give thee place among [d]these that stand by.
