1»A fountain for sin and for uncleanness will be opened for the house of David.« 2Jehovah of Hosts declared: »I will remove the names of the idols from the land! They will no longer be remembered. I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to leave the land. 3»It will happen when any attempt to prophesy, the father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him: You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Jehovah. They will stab him through when he prophesies. 4»It will happen! The prophets, each one of them will be ashamed of his vision and his prophesy. They will not wear a hairy mantle to deceive. 5»He will say I am no prophet! I am a tiller of the ground. I have been made a slave from my youth. 6»One will ask him: What are these wounds between your arms? He will 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 neighborcompanion, said Jehovah of Hosts: Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered! I will turn my hand upon against the little ones. 8»It will happen in all the land,« said Jehovah, »two parts will be cut off and die; but the third will be left. 9»I will bring the third part into the fire. I will refine them, as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say: ‘It is my people!’ They will say: ‘Jehovah is my God!« ’
