Zechariah 13

(CLV) Zechariah 13

1 In that day there shall come to be a fountain opened for the house of David, and for the dwellers of Jerusalem, for sin and for isolation. 2 And it shall come to be in that day, (averring is Yahweh of hosts), I will cut off the names of grief fetishes from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. And, moreover, I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass from the land. 3 And it shall come to be, in case a man is prophesying still, then his father and his mother, those generating him, shall say to him, You shall not live, for you speak falsehood in the name of Yahweh. And his father and his mother, those generating him, shall stab him when he prophesies. 4 And it shall come to be in that day that the prophets shall be ashamed, each because of his vision, when he prophesies; and they shall not put on a fur robe of hair that they may dissimulate. 5 And he shall say, "I am not a prophet! I am a man serving the ground, for a human caused me to acquire it from my youth." 6 And one says to him, "What are these smitings on your hands?" Then he will say, "Here I was smitten in the house of my lovers." 7 O sword! rouse against My Shepherd, and against the Master, My Companion, (averring is Yahweh of hosts). Smite the Shepherd, and the flock is scattering. And I restore My hand on the inferior shepherds. 8 And it shall come to be that in all the land, (averring is Yahweh), two divisions in it shall be cut off and shall expire. Yet the third shall be left in it. 9 And I will bring the third into the fire. And I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will test them as gold is tested. It shall call in My name, and I will answer it. I will say, My people is it. And it will say, Yahweh is my Elohim.
