Chapter 13
1 " In that day there will be a fountain opened to David ’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem , for sin and for uncleanness .
2 It will come to pass in that day , says Yahweh of Armies , that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more . I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
3 It will happen that when anyone still prophesies , then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him , ‘ You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh ’s name ;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies .
4 It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies ; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive ,
5 but he will say, ‘ I am no prophet , I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth .’
6 One will say to him , ‘ What are these wounds between your arms ?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
7 " Awake , sword , against my shepherd , and against the man who is close to me ," says Yahweh of Armies . " Strike the shepherd , and the sheep will be scattered ; and I will turn my hand against the little ones .
8 It shall happen that in all the land," says Yahweh , " two parts in it will be cut off and die ; but the third will be left in it .
9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined , and will test them like gold is tested . They will call on my name , and I will hear them . I will say, ‘ It is my people ;’ and they will say, ‘ Yahweh is my God .’"
