1 On that day, a fountain will opento cleanse the sin and impurity of David’s house and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2 On that day, says the Lord of heavenly forces,I will eliminate the names of the idols from the land;they will no longer be remembered.Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the sinful spirit from the land.
3 If anyone again prophesies,then that person’s birth father and mother will say,"You won’t live, for you have told a lie in the name of the Lord."That person’s own birth father and mother will stab him when he prophesies.
4 On that day each of the prophets will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesiesand won’t put on a shaggy coat in order to deceive.
5 Each will say, "I’m not a prophet.I’m a man who works the ground, for the soil has been my occupation since I was young."
6 Someone will say to him,"What are these wounds between your hands?"And he will say, "These happened when I was hit in my friends’ home."
