          DASV: Zechariah 13

1 "On that day there will be a fountain opened to the house
of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them
from sin and uncleanness.
2 On that day," says the LORD of hosts, "I will cut off the
names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered
no more. Furthermore, I will remove the prophets and the
unclean spirit from the land.
3 If anyone continues to prophesy, then his father and his
mother who bore him will say to him, 'You should not live,
for you spoke lies in the name of the LORD.' Then his father
and his mother who bore him will plunge a sword through him
when he prophesies.
4 On that day, each of the prophets will be ashamed of his
vision, when he prophesies, they will not wear a hairy prophetic
mantle in order to deceive.
5 But he will claim, 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the
ground; for I have worked as a hired hand for a man since
my youth.'
6 And if anyone says to him, 'What are these wounds on your
chest?' Then he will reply, 'I received those wounds in
the house of my friends."'

7 "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,
      against the man that is my associate,"
           says the LORD of hosts.
      "Strike the shepherd,
          and the sheep will be scattered,
          and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the entire land," says the LORD,
     "two thirds therein will be cut off and die;
           but a third will be left alive in it.
9 I will bring this third into the fire,
     and will refine them as silver is refined,
           and will test them as gold is tested.
      They will call on my name,
          and I will hear them.
      I will say, 'They are my people,'
          and they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"
