Zechariah 13
- 1In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the people of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
- 2In that day says the Lord of Hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
- 3When any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother who gave him life shall say to him, You shall not live. For you speak lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him life shall thrust him through when he prophesies.
- 4In that day the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he has prophesied. Neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
- 5But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a farmer. For man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
- 6And one shall say to him, What are these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
- 7Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is my fellow, says the Lord of Hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand on the little ones.
- 8In all the land, says the Lord, two parts in it shall be cut off and die. But the third shall be left in it.
- 9And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
