13
1 In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for * Or, departure. separation. 2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer any remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land. 3 And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying. 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied. 5 And one shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up thus from my youth. 6 And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, Those with which I was wounded in † Alex. The house of my beloved. my beloved house. 7 Awake, O sword, against my ‡ Alex. shepherd. shepherds, and against the man who is my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: ✡ Matt 26:31 strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring my hand upon the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
