1:13 Get dressed 6 and lament, you priests!
Wail, you who minister at the altar!
Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you servants of my God,
because no one brings grain offerings or drink offerings
to the temple of your God anymore. 7
1:14 Announce a holy fast; 8
proclaim a sacred assembly.
Gather the elders and 9 all the inhabitants of the land
to the temple of the Lord your God,
and cry out to the Lord.
2:17 Let the priests, those who serve the Lord, weep
from the vestibule all the way back to the altar. 10
Let them say, “Have pity, O Lord, on your people;
please do not turn over your inheritance to be mocked,
to become a proverb 11 among the nations.
Why should it be said 12 among the peoples,
“Where is their God?”
3:1 Next I saw Joshua the high priest 13 standing before the angel of the Lord, with Satan 14 standing at his right hand to accuse him. 3:2 The Lord 15 said to Satan, “May the Lord rebuke you, Satan! May the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, 16 rebuke you! Isn’t this man like a burning stick snatched from the fire?” 3:3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes 17 as he stood there before the angel. 3:4 The angel 18 spoke up to those standing all around, “Remove his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “I have freely forgiven your iniquity and will dress you 19 in fine clothing.” 3:5 Then I spoke up, “Let a clean turban be put on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood nearby.
