Zechariah 13

An End to Idolatry

1“On thatH1931 dayH3117 a fountainH4726 will beH1961 openedH6605 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and the peopleH3427 of JerusalemH3389, to cleanse them from sinH2403 and impurityH5079. 2AndH1961 on thatH1931 dayH3117, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, I will eraseH3772 the namesH8034 of the idolsH6091 fromH4480 the landH776, and they will noH3808 longerH5750H1571 be rememberedH2142. I will also removeH5674 the prophetsH5030 andH853 the spiritH7307 of impurityH29321 fromH4480 the landH776.

3AndH1961 ifH3588 anyoneH376 stillH5750 prophesiesH5012, his fatherH1 and motherH517 who bore himH3205 will sayH559 to himH413, ‘You shall notH3808 remain aliveH2421, becauseH3588 you have spokenH1696 falselyH8267 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.’ When he prophesiesH5012, his fatherH1 and motherH517 who bore himH3205 will pierce him throughH1856.

4AndH1961 on thatH1931 dayH3117 everyH376 prophetH5030 who prophesiesH5012 will be ashamedH954 of his visionH2384, and he will notH3808 put onH3847 a hairyH8181 cloakH155 in order toH4616 deceiveH3584. 5He will sayH559, ‘IH595H376 am notH3808 a prophetH5030; IH595 workH5647 the landH127, forH3588 I was purchased as a servantH120H7069 in my youthH5271.2’

6If someone asksH559 himH413, ‘WhatH4100 are theseH428 woundsH4347 on your chestH996H30273?’ he will answerH559, ‘These areH834 the wounds I receivedH5221 in the houseH1004 of my friendsH157.’
