In Zechariah 3, the Lord showed Zechariah a vision of Joshua, the high priest, standing, in filthy clothes, before the angel of the Lord with Satan standing beside him to accuse him.
“The angel said to those who were standing before him, ‘Take off his filthy clothes.’ Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
~Zechariah 3:4

~ 1 Peter 1:3
