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.

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.
Agblɔ be, ‘Menye nyagblɔɖilae menye o: agbledelae menye. Tso nye ɖekakpuime ke, mekpɔa nye nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.’
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 my beloved house.

7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.
