A Vision of Joshua the High Priest

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. 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?” Now (F)Joshua was standing before the angel, (G)clothed with filthy garments. 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.” 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.

And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured (M)Joshua, “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. 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. 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 neighbour to come (X)under his vine and under his fig tree.”

大祭司約書亞的異象

耶和華又使我看見大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前,撒但也站在約書亞右邊控告他。 耶和華對撒但說:“撒但哪!耶和華斥責你,那揀選了耶路撒冷的耶和華斥責你。這個人不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎?”

那時,約書亞穿著污穢的衣服,站在使者的面前。 使者吩咐那些侍立在他面前的說:“你們要脫去他污穢的衣服。”又對約書亞說:“看哪!我已經除去了你的罪孽,要給你穿上華美的禮服。”

我說:“你們要把潔淨的冠冕戴在他的頭上。”他們就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他的頭上,又給他穿上華美的衣服。那時,耶和華的使者正在旁邊站著。

耶和華的使者勸戒約書亞說: “萬軍之耶和華這樣說:‘你若遵行我的道,謹守我的吩咐,你就必治理我的家,看守我的院子,我必賜你特權,可以在這些侍立在我面前的使者中間自由出入。 大祭司約書亞啊!你和坐在你面前的眾同伴都要聽,(他們都是預表將來奇事的人,)我必使我的僕人,就是大衛的苗裔出生。 看我在約書亞面前所立的石頭,在這一塊石頭上有七眼。看哪!我要親自雕琢這石頭(這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告)。在一日之內,我要除去這地的罪孽。 10 到那日(這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告),你們各人要邀請自己的鄰舍來,坐在葡萄樹下和無花果樹下。’”
