1 On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to purify from sin and uncleanness.
2 On that day—oracle of the Lord of hosts—I will destroy the names of the idols from the land, so that they will be mentioned no more; I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness from the land.
3 If any still prophesy, their father and mother who bore them will say, “You will not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord.” Their father and mother who bore them will thrust them through when they prophesy.
4 On that day, all prophets will be ashamed of the visions they prophesy; and they will not put on the hairy mantle to mislead,
5 but each will say, “I am not a prophet. I am a tiller of the soil, for I have owned land since my youth.”
6 And if anyone asks, “What are these wounds on your chest?” each will answer, “I received these wounds in the house of my friends.”
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,against the one who is my associate—oracle of the Lord of hosts.Strike the shepherdthat the sheep may be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones.
