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.
8 In all the land—oracle of the Lord—two thirds of them will be cut off and perish,and one third will be left.
9 I will bring the one third through the fire;I will refine them as one refines silver,and I will test them as one tests gold.They will call upon my name, and I will answer them;I will say, “They are my people,”and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
