CSBChristian Standard Bible

On that day”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—“I will remove the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will banish the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land. 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 a lie in the name of the Lord.’ When he prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through. 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.

If anyone continues to prophesy, his own father and mother will tell him, ‘You must die, for you have prophesied lies in the name of the Lord.’ And as he prophesies, his own father and mother will stab him.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

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.

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:
