1In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.Select Zechariah 13:1
2And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered any more, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from the land.Select Zechariah 13:2
3And it hath been, when one prophesieth again, That said unto him have his father and his mother, his parents, `Thou dost not live, For falsehood thou hast spoken in the name of Jehovah,' And pierced him through have his father and his mother, his parents, in his prophesying.Select Zechariah 13:3
4And it hath come to pass, in that day, Ashamed are the prophets, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they put not on a hairy robe to deceive.Select Zechariah 13:4
5And one hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground is my possession from my youth.'Select Zechariah 13:5

7Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero--My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.Select Zechariah 13:7
8And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off--they expire, And the third is left in it.Select Zechariah 13:8
