CHAPTER 13 The Removal of the Idols and False Prophets

1 In that day [³will be ¹every ²place] opening wide to the house of David and to the ones dwelling in Jerusalem for the removal and for the sprinkling. 2 And it will be in that day, says the lord of Hosts, I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from the land, and there will not be any longer a memory of them. And the false prophets and the [²spirit ¹unclean] I will remove from the land. 3 And it will be if [²should prophesy ¹a man] still, and shall say to him his father and his mother, the ones engendering him, You shall not live, for [²lies ¹you spoke] upon the name of the lord; then they shall bind him (his father and his mother, the ones engendering him) at his prophesying. 4 And it will be in that day [³shall be disgraced ¹the ²prophets], each at his vision when he prophesies; and they shall put on [²hide covering ¹a hair], because they lied. 5 And he shall say, [²am not ³a prophet ¹I], for [³a man ⁴working ⁵the ⁶ground ¹I ²am]; for a man engendered me from my youth. 6 And I will say to him, What are these wounds in the middle of your hands? And he will say, The ones which I was struck by in the house of my beloved. 7 O broadsword, awaken against my shepherds, and against a man, my fellow-countryman! says the lord almighty. Strike the shepherd! and [³were dispersed ¹the ²sheep]. And I will bring my hand upon the shepherds. 8 And it will be in that day, says the lord, the two parts shall be utterly destroyed, and shall cease; but the third part shall be left in it. 9 And I shall lead the third part through fire, and I will purify them as [²is fired ¹silver], and I will try them as [²is tried ¹gold]. He will call upon my name, and I will heed him. And I will say, [³my people ¹This ²is]. And he shall say, The lord is my God.
