Zechariah 13
13
Jerusalem Refined and Tested
1“In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.
2“And it will be in that day,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass away from the land. 3And it will be that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, for you have spoken falsely in the name of Yahweh’; and his father and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him through when he prophesies. 4And it will be in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a hairy mantle in order to deceive; 5but he will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I am a cultivator of the ground, for a man #13:5 Lit caused another to buy mesold me as a slave in my youth.’ 6And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds struck here between your #13:6 Lit handsarms?’ Then he will say, ‘Those with which I was struck in the house of #13:6 Lit those who love memy friends.’
7¶“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd
And against the man, My Associate,”
Declares Yahweh of hosts.
“Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;
And I will turn My hand #13:7 Or uponagainst the little ones.
8“And it will be in all the land,”
Declares Yahweh,
“That two parts in it will be cut off and breathe their last;
But the third will be left in it.
9“And I will bring the third part through the fire
And refine them as silver is refined
And test them as gold is tested.
# 13:9 Lit He They will call on My name,
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
And they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”
