Zechariah 13:1-5 ▼

1 On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the residents of Jerusalem, to wash away sin and impurity.

2 On that day|—this is the declaration of the LORD of Hosts—|I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

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

4 On 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.

5 He will say: I am not a prophet; I work the land, for a man purchased me as a servant since my youth.
