King James VersionZechariah13

Zechariah

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, saith 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, Thou shalt not live; for thou speak­est lies in the name of the LORD: and his fa­ther and his moth­er that be­gat him shall thrust him through when he proph­e­si­eth. 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed ev­ery one of his vi­sion, when he hath proph­e­sied; nei­ther shall they wear a rough gar­ment to de­ceive: 5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an hus­band­man; for man taught me to keep cat­tle from my youth. 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall an­swer, Those with which I was wound­ed in the house of my friends. 7 Awake, O sword, against my shep­herd, and against the man that is my fel­low, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shep­herd, and the sheep shall be scat­tered: and I will turn mine hand upon the lit­tle ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts there­in shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left there­in. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will re­fine them as sil­ver is re­fined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my peo­ple: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
