Zechariah 13
1 “On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the residents of Jerusalem, to wash away sin and impurity.
2 On that day” — this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies — “I will remove the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will banish the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.
3 If a man still prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him: You cannot remain alive because you have spoken a lie in the name of the LORD. When he prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through.
4 On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
5 He will say: I am not a prophet; I work the land, for a man purchased me as a servant since my youth.
6 If someone asks him: What are these wounds on your chest? — then he will answer: I received the wounds in the house of my friends.
7 Sword, awake against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate — this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land — this is the LORD’s declaration — two-thirds will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.
9 I will put this third through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. 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 our God.”
