Zech 13
1
In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem: for the washing of the sinner, and of the unclean woman.
2
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will destroy
the names of idols out of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more: and I will
take away the false prophets, and the unclean spirit out of the earth.
3
And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy any more, his father and
his mother that brought him into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live:
because thou best spoken a lie in the name of the Lord. And his father, and his mother,
his parents, shall thrust him through, when he shall prophesy.
4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be confounded, every
one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a garment
of sackcloth, to deceive :
5
But he shall say: I am no prophet, I am a husbandman: for Adam is my ex- ample from
my youth.
6
And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he
shall say: With these I was wounded in the house of them that loved me.
7
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that cleaveth to me, saith
the Lord of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will
turn my hand to the little ones.
8
And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered,
and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein.
9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is
refined: and I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will
hear them. I will say: Thou art my people: and they shall say: The Lord is my God.
