[1] In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to
the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean. [2] And it
will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the
names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more
memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit
away from the land. [3] And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his
father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on
living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his
father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so. [4] And
it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man
on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will
not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit: [5] But he will say, I am
no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from
the time when I was young. [6] And if anyone says to him, What are these
wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded
in the house of my friends. [7] Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my
flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to
death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand
will be turned against the little ones. [8] And it will come about that in
all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an
end; but the third will be still living there. [9] And I will make the
third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and
testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I
will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say,
The Lord is my God.
