Zechariah 13

False Prophets Ashamed

1

"In that day a  afountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for  bsin and for  cimpurity.

2

"It will come about in that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "that I will  acut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also remove the  bprophets and the  cunclean spirit from the land.

3

"And if anyone still  aprophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, `You shall  bnot live, for you have spoken  cfalsely in the name of the LORD'; and his  dfather and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him through when he prophesies.

4

"Also it will come about in that day that the prophets will each be  aashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a  bhairy robe in order to deceive;

5

but he will say, `I am  anot a prophet; I am a tiller of the ground, for a man  1sold me as a slave in my youth.'

6

"And one will say to him, `What are these wounds  abetween your  1arms?' Then he will say, `Those with which I was wounded in the house of  2my friends.'

7

"Awake, O  asword, against My  bShepherd, And against the man, My  cAssociate," Declares the LORD of hosts. " dStrike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will  eturn My hand  1against the little ones.

8

"It will come about in all the land," Declares the LORD, "That  atwo parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it.

9

"And I will bring the third part through the  afire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will  bcall on My name, And I will  canswer them; I will say, `They are  dMy people,' And they will say, `The LORD is my God.' "
