Zechariah 13
|
1 |
In that day there shall be a fountain
opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for
sin and for uncleanness.
|
2 |
And it shall come to pass in that day,
saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut
off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more
be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean
spirit to pass out of the land.
|
3 |
And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that
begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest
lies in the name of the LORD: and his father
and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he
prophesieth.
|
4 |
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision,
when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to
deceive:
|
5 |
but he shall say, I am no prophet,
I am a husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my
youth.
|
6 |
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my
friends.
|
The Smiting of the
LORD's Shepherd |
7 |
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,
and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall
be scattered: Mt. 26.31 · Mk. 14.27 and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
|
8 |
And it shall come to pass, that in
all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein
shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left
therein.
|
9 |
And I will bring the third part through
the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try
them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear
them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The
LORD is my God.
