Zechariah 13
1In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants ofJerusalem for removal and for separation. 2And 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 nolongerany remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from theland. 3And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his motherwhich gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of theLord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying. 4And it shall come to pass in that day,that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shallclothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied. 5Andone shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me upthus from my youth. 6And 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. 7Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the manwho is my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: andI will bring mine hand upon the little ones. 8And it shall come to pass,that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but thethird shall be left therein. 9And I will bring the thirdpart through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as goldis proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shallsay, The Lordis my God.
