Zecharyah 13
13
1In Yom HaHu there shall be a makor (fountain)#13:1 See Ps 36:9 [10] opened to the Bais Dovid and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim for sin and for niddah (impurity).#13:1 i.e., used figuratively but refers especially to untouchability of women during menstruation and other kinds of uncleanness
2And in Yom HaHu it shall come to pass, saith Hashem Tzva'os, that I will cut off the shmot (names) of the atzabim (idols) out of ha'aretz, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the nevi'im and the ruach hatum'ah (unclean spirit) to pass from ha'aretz.
3And it shall come to pass, that if any shall still prophesy, then his av and his em that bore him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest sheker b'Shem Hashem; and his av and his em that bore him shall thrust him through#13:3 dakar, 12:10 when he prophesieth.
4And in Yom HaHu it shall come to pass, that the nevi'im shall be ashamed, every one of his chizzayon (vision, revelation), when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear an adderet se'ar (garment of hair, hairy mantle) to deceive;
5But he shall say, I am no navi, I am an ish oved adamah (a man who works the soil); for land I owned from my youth.
6And if one shall say unto him, What are these makkot (strokes, marks of strokes, scars, wounds) between thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the bais of my friends.
7Awake, O Cherev (sword), against My Ro'eh,#13:7 shepherd, i.e. Moshiach, see Isa 40:11; Ezek 34:23,24; 37:24 against the Gever (man) that is My Amit (fellow, intimate companion, associate), saith Hashem Tzva'os; strike the Ro'eh (shepherd), and the Tzon (sheep, flock) shall be scattered; and I will turn Mine hand upon the tzo'arim (little ones);#13:7 See Zech 11:7; Mt 26:31,56
8And it shall come to pass, that in kol ha'aretz, saith Hashem, two-thirds therein shall be cut off and die; but one-third shall remain therein.
9And I will bring the one-third through the eish, and will refine them as kesef is refined, and will test them as zahav is tested; they shall call biShmi (on My Name), and I will hear them; I will say, This is My people; and they shall say, Hashem is Elohai.

Zechariah 13
13
1On that day, a fountain will open
to cleanse#13.1 Heb lacks to cleanse. the sin and impurity of David’s house and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2On that day, says the LORD of heavenly forces,
I will eliminate the names of the idols from the land;
they will no longer be remembered.
Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the sinful spirit from the land.
3If anyone again prophesies,
then that person’s birth father and mother will say,
“You won’t live, for you have told a lie in the name of the LORD.”
That person’s own birth father and mother will stab him when he prophesies.
4On that day each of the prophets will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies
and won’t put on a shaggy coat in order to deceive.
5Each will say, “I’m not a prophet.
I’m a man who works the ground, for the soil has been my occupation since I was young.”
6Someone will say to him,
“What are these wounds between your hands?”
And he will say, “These happened when I was hit in my friends’ home.”
7Sword, arise against my shepherd,
against the man responsible for#13.7 Heb lacks responsible for. my community, says the LORD of heavenly forces!
Strike the shepherd in order to scatter the flock!
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8Throughout all the land, says the LORD,
two-thirds will be cut off and die;
but one-third will be left in it.
9I will put the third part into the fire.
I will refine them like one refines silver;
I will test them like one tests gold.
They will call on my name, and I will respond to them.
I will say, “They are my people.”
And they will say, “The LORD is our God.”
