13
1 “In
that day there
will be a
fountain opened to
David’s house and
to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, for
sin and for
uncleanness.
2 It
will come to
pass in that
day, says the
LORD of Armies,
that I will
cut off the
names of the
idols out of
the land, and they
will be remembered
no more. I
will also cause
the prophets and
the spirit of
impurity to pass
out of the land.
3 It
will happen that
when anyone still
prophesies, then
his father and
his mother who
bore him will
tell him, ‘You
must die, because
you speak lies
in the LORD’s
name;’ and his
father and
his mother who
bore him will
stab him when
he prophesies.
4 It
will happen in
that day that
the prophets will
each be ashamed of
his vision when
he prophesies;
they won’t wear a
hairy mantle to
deceive,
5 but
he will say, ‘I am
no prophet, I am
a tiller of
the ground; for I
have been made
a bondservant from
my youth.’
6 One
will say to him,
‘What are these
wounds between your
arms?’ Then he
will answer, ‘Those with
which I was
wounded in the
house of
my friends.’
7 “Awake,
sword, against my
shepherd,
and against the
man who is close
to me,” says
the LORD of
Armies.
“Strike the
shepherd, and the
sheep will be
scattered;
and I will
turn my hand
against the little
ones.
8 It
shall happen that
in all the land,”
says the LORD,
“two parts in
it will be
cut off and
die;
but the third
will be left
in it.
9 I
will bring the
third part into
the fire,
and will refine
them as silver
is refined,
and will test
them like gold
is tested.
They will call
on my name,
and I will
hear them.
I will say, ‘It
is my people;’
and they will say,
‘The LORD is
my God.’ ”
