< Zechariah 13 >
1 On the day that it will be a fountain opened for [the] house of David and for [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for impurity.
“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 And it will be on the day that [the] utterance of - Yahweh of hosts I will cut off [the] names of the idols from the land and not they will be remembered again and also the prophets and [the] spirit of uncleanness I will cause to pass away from the land.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD 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 And it will be that he will prophesy anyone still and they will say to him father his and mother his [who] begot him not you will live for falsehood you have spoken in [the] name of Yahweh and they will pierce through him father his and mother his [who] begot him when prophecies he.
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 the LORD’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4 And it will be - on the day that they will be ashamed the prophets each one from vision his when prophecies he and not they will wear a cloak of hair so as to deceive.
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 And he will say not [am] a prophet I [am] a man [who] tills ground I for someone he sold me since youth my.
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 And someone will say to him what? [are] the wounds these between hands your and he will say [those] which I was wounded [the] house of friends my.
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 O sword awake on shepherd my and on [the] man of community my [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts strike the shepherd and they may be scattered the sheep and I will turn hand my on the little [ones].
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says the LORD of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 And it will be in all the land [the] utterance of Yahweh a mouth of two in it they will be cut off they will perish and the third [part] it will be left in it.
It shall happen that in all the land,” says the LORD, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
9 And I will bring the third [part] in the fire and I will refine them as refines silver and I will test them as tests gold it - it will call on name my and I I will answer it I will say [is] people my it and it it will say Yahweh [is] God my.
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, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
