1   And he shewed mee Iehoshua the hie Priest, ^note standing before the Angel of the Lord, and ^note Satan stoode at his right hand to resist him.

2   And the ^note Lord said vnto Satan, The Lord reprooue thee, O Satan: euen the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem, reprooue thee. Is not this a ^note brand taken out of the fire?

3   Nowe Iehoshua was clothed with filthie garments, and stoode before the Angel.

4   And he answered and spake vnto those that stoode before him, saying, Take away the ^note filthie garments from him. And vnto him hee saide, Behold, I haue ^note caused thine iniquitie to depart from thee, & I wil clothe thee with change of raiment.

5   And I saide, Let them ^note set a faire diademe vpon his head. So they set a faire diademe vpon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the Angel of the Lord stoode by.

6   And the Angel of the Lorde testified vnto Iehoshua, saying,

7   Thus saith the Lord of hostes, If thou wilt walke in my wayes, and keepe my watch, thou shalt also ^note iudge mine House, and shalt also keepe my ^note courtes, and I will giue thee place among ^note these that stand by.

8   Heare now, O Iehoshua the hie Priest, thou and thy felowes that sit before thee: for they ^note are monstruous persons: but behold, I wil bring forth the ^note Branche my seruant.

9   For loe, the ^note stone that I haue layd before Iehoshua: vpon one stone shalbe seuen eyes: beholde, I will ^note cut out the grauing thereof, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will take ^note away the iniquitie of this land in one day.

10   In that day, saith the Lorde of hostes, shall ye call euery man his neighbour vnder the ^note vine, and vnder the figge tree.

A golden candlesticke.
