Zechariah Chapter 13

An End to Idolatry
1   In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2   And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
3   And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of the LORD: and  his  father  and  his  mother that  begat  him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.
4   And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision,  when  he  has  prophesied;  neither  shall they wear a robe of coarse hair to deceive:
5   But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6   And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

The Shepherd Struck, But the People Saved
7   Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is close to me, says the LORD of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8   And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says the LORD, two parts in it shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left in it.
9   And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them as gold is tested: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, They are my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
