13:1 On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the residents of Jerusalem, to wash away sin and impurity.
13:2 On that day"--this is the declaration of the LORD of Hosts--"I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.
13:3 If a man still prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him: You cannot remain alive because you have spoken falsely in the name of Yahweh. When he prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through.
13:4 On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
13:5 He will say: I am not a prophet; I work the land, for a man purchased me as a servant since my youth.
13:6 If someone asks him: What are these wounds on your chest?--then he will answer: I received the wounds in the house of my friends.
13:7 Sword, awake against My shepherd, against the man who is My associate-- this is the declaration of the LORD of Hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will also turn My hand against the little ones.
13:8 In the whole land-- this is the LORD's declaration-- two-thirds will be cut off and die, but a third will be left in it.
13:9 I will put this third through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say: They are My people, and they will say: Yahweh is our God."
