Nya kläder för översteprästen
3 Sedan lät han mig se översteprästen Josua stå inför Herrens ängel, och Satan stod vid hans högra sida för att anklaga honom. 2 Men Herren sade till Satan: " Herren skall straffa dig, Satan. Ja, Herren skall straffa dig, han som har utvalt Jerusalem. Är då inte denne en brand ryckt ur elden?"
3 Josua var klädd i orena kläder, där han stod inför ängeln. 4 Och ängeln sade till dem som stod inför honom: "Tag av honom de orena kläderna." Sedan sade han till Josua: "Se, jag har tagit din missgärning från dig, och jag skall klä dig i högtidskläder." 5 Då sade jag: "Sätt också en ren bindel på hans huvud." Och de satte en ren bindel på hans huvud och tog på honom kläderna, medan Herrens ängel stod där.
6 Och Herrens ängel försäkrade Josua och sade: 7 "Så säger Herren Sebaot:
Om du vandrar på mina vägar
och håller mina befallningar,
så skall du få styra mitt hus
och vakta mina förgårdar.
Du skall få en plats att vandra på
bland dem som står här.
Löftet om Telningen
8 Hör Josua, du överstepräst, du och dina medbröder som sitter här inför dig, dessa män skall vara ett tecken:
Se, jag skall låta min tjänare Telningen komma.
9 Se den sten som jag har lagt inför Josua!
Över denna enda sten vakar sju ögon,
och se, jag skall gravera in en inskrift på den,
säger Herren Sebaot.
Och jag skall utplåna
detta lands missgärning
på en enda dag.
10 På den dagen, säger Herren Sebaot,
skall var och en kunna bjuda in sin vän
under sin vinstock och sitt fikonträd."

New King James Version
Vision of the High Priest
3 Then he showed me (A)Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and (B)Satan[a] standing at his right hand to oppose him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, (C)“The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who (D)has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! (E)Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”
3 Now Joshua was clothed with (F)filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.
4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, (G)and I will clothe you with rich robes.”
5 And I said, “Let them put a clean (H)turban on his head.”
So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.
The Coming Branch
6 Then the Angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying, 7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘If you will walk in My ways,
And if you will (I)keep My command,
Then you shall also (J)judge My house,
And likewise have charge of My courts;
I will give you places to walk
Among these who (K)stand here.
8 ‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest,
You and your companions who sit before you,
For they are (L)a[b] wondrous sign;
For behold, I am bringing forth (M)My Servant the (N)BRANCH.
9 For behold, the stone
That I have laid before Joshua:
(O)Upon the stone are (P)seven eyes.
Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘And (Q)I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 (R)In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts,
‘Everyone will invite his neighbor
(S)Under his vine and under his fig tree.’ ”

A Vision of Joshua the High Priest
3 Then he showed me (A)Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and (B)Satan[a] standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, (C)“The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has (D)chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this (E)a brand[b] plucked from the fire?” 3 Now (F)Joshua was standing before the angel, (G)clothed with filthy garments. 4 And the angel said to (H)those who were standing before him, (I)“Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, (J)I have taken your iniquity away from you, and (K)I will clothe you with pure vestments.” 5 And I said, (L)“Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.
6 And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured (M)Joshua, 7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and (N)keep my charge, then you shall (O)rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among (P)those who are standing here. 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for (Q)they are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring (R)my servant (S)the Branch. 9 For behold, on (T)the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with (U)seven eyes,[c] I will (V)engrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and (W)I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10 In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come (X)under his vine and under his fig tree.”
