‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest,
You and your companions who sit before you,
For they are (A)a[a] wondrous sign;
For behold, I am bringing forth (B)My Servant the (C)BRANCH.
For behold, the stone
That I have laid before Joshua:
(D)Upon the stone are (E)seven eyes.
Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘And (F)I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 (G)In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts,
‘Everyone will invite his neighbor
(H)Under his vine and under his fig tree.’ ”
