1 IN THAT day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem sin and uncleanness. 2 And in that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit. 3 And if anyone again appears as a prophet, then his father and his mother who bore him shall say to him, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother who bore him shall thrust him through when he prophesies. 4 And in that day the prophets shall each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, nor will he wear a hairy or rough garment to deceive, 5 But he will say, I am no prophet. I am a tiller of the ground, for I have been made a bond servant from my youth. 6 And one shall say to him, What are these wounds on your breast or between your hands? Then he will answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. 7 Awake, O sword, against My shepherd and against the man who is My associate, says the Lord of hosts; smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn back My hand and stretch it out again upon the little ones . 8 And in all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds shall be cut off and perish, but one-third shall be left alive. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined and will test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will hear and answer them. I will say, It is My people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
