The verses around Zechariah 3:2.
1And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Verse explanation
God directly rebukes the accuser, defending Jerusalem as 'a brand plucked out of the fire' — something rescued from destruction, not something to be discarded.
From the Zechariah 3 study in Bible in Stories.
