Idolatry Cut Off

13 “In that aday ba fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for cuncleanness.

2 “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will dcut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause ethe prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. 3 It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, ‘You shall fnot live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who begot him gshall thrust him through when he prophesies.

4 “And it shall be in that day that hevery prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear ia robe of coarse hair to deceive. 5 jBut he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’ 6 And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your 1arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Savior

7 “Awake, O sword, against kMy Shepherd,

Against the Man lwho is My Companion,”

Says the Lord of hosts.

m“Strike the Shepherd,

And the sheep will be scattered;

Then I will turn My hand against nthe little ones.

8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,”

Says the Lord,

“That otwo-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,

pBut one-third shall be left in it:

9 I will bring the one-third qthrough the fire,

Will rrefine them as silver is refined,

And test them as gold is tested.

sThey will call on My name,

And I will answer them.

tI will say, ‘This is My people’;

And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
