1"On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

3If a man still prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him: You cannot remain alive because you have spoken a lie in the name of the LORD. When he prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through.

3And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, 'You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD's name.' Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.

4On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.

6If someone asks him: What are these wounds on your chest?--then he will answer: I received the wounds in the house of my friends.

6If someone asks, 'What are these wounds on your body?' they will answer, 'The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.'

7Sword, awake against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate--this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones.

7"Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!" declares the LORD Almighty. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8In the whole land--this is the LORD's declaration--two-thirds will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.

8In the whole land," declares the LORD, "two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.

9I will put this third through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say: They are my people, and they will say: The LORD is our God."

9This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'"
