Zechariah Chapter 13

1On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David, and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. 2And it will come to pass on that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will not be remembered any more. And I will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land. 3And it will come to pass, if a man still prophesies, that his father and his mother who gave him birth will say to him, ‘You shall not live, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and his mother who gave him birth will thrust him through when he prophesies. 4And it will come to pass on that day that the prophets will be put to shame, each one because of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not wear a hairy cloak in order to deceive. 5And he will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I am a tiller of the ground, for a man has employed me for this from my youth.’ 6Now someone will say to him, ‘What are these wounds on your hands?’ And he will say, ‘They are those with which I was struck by the house of my friends.’

7O sword, awake against my shepherd

And against the man who is my colleague,

Says the Lord of hosts.

Strike the shepherd,

And let the sheep be scattered,

And I will turn my hand to those who are little.

8And it will come to pass in the whole land,

Says the Lord,

That two thirds of it will be cut off and die,

And the third part will remain in it.

9And I will bring the third part into the fire,

And I will refine them as a refiner of silver,

And I will assay them as in assaying gold.

They will call on my name,

And I will answer them.

I will say, ‘They are my people’,

And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’
