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.
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.”

“At that time people will sit and talk
    with their friends and neighbors.
They will invite each other to sit
    under the fig trees and grapevines.”
