Zechariah 13
1 In that
day there shall be a
fountain opened to the
house of
David and to the
inhabitants of
Jerusalem for
sin and for
uncleanness. 2 And it shall come to pass in that
day, saith the
LORD of
hosts, that 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. 3 And it shall come to pass, that when
any shall yet
prophesy, then his
father and his
mother that
begat him shall
say unto him, Thou shalt not
live; for thou
speakest lies in the
name of the
LORD: and his
father and his
mother that
begat him shall
thrust him through when he
prophesieth.
4 And it shall come to pass in that
day, that the
prophets shall be
ashamed every
one of his
vision, when he hath
prophesied; neither shall they
wear a
rough garment to
deceive:
5 But he shall
say, I am no
prophet, I am an
husbandman; for
man taught me to keep
cattle from my
youth. 6 And one shall
say unto him, What are these
wounds in thine
hands? Then he shall
answer, Those with which I was
wounded in the
house of my
friends.
7 Awake, O
sword, against my
shepherd, and against the
man that is my
fellow, saith the
LORD of
hosts: smite the
shepherd, and the
sheep shall be
scattered: and I will
turn mine
hand upon the little
ones.
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the
land, saith the
LORD, two parts therein shall be cut
off and
die; but the
third shall be
left therein.
9 And 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.
