CHAPTER 13
On that
day
a fountain
will be
opened
to the house
of David
and the residents
of Jerusalem,
to cleanse them from sin
and impurity.
And
on that
day,
declares
the LORD
of Hosts,
I will erase
the names
of the idols
from
the land,
and they will no
longer
be remembered.
I will also remove
the prophets
and the unclean
spirit
from
the land.
And
if
anyone
still
prophesies,
his father
and mother
who bore him
will say
to him,
‘You shall not
remain alive,
because
you have spoken
falsely
in the name
of the LORD.’
When he prophesies,
his father
and mother
who bore him
will pierce him through.
And
on that
day
every
prophet
who prophesies
will be ashamed
of his vision,
and he will not
put on
a hairy
cloak
in order to
deceive.
If someone asks
him,
‘What
are these
wounds
on your chest?’
he will answer,
‘These are
the wounds I received
in the house
of my friends.’
Awake,
O sword,
against
My shepherd,
against
the man
who is My Companion,”
declares
the LORD
of Hosts.
“Strike
the shepherd,
and the sheep
will be scattered,
and I will turn
My hand
against
the little ones.
And
in all
the land,”
declares
the LORD,
“two-thirds
will be cut off
and perish,
but a third
will be left
in it.
This third
I will bring
through the fire;
I will refine them
like silver
and test them
like 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
our God.’”
