Zechariah 13

Idolatry Cut Off

“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 ^acut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause ^bthe 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 ^anot live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who begot him ^bshall thrust him through when he prophesies.
4 “And it shall be in that day that ^aevery prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear ^ba robe of coarse hair to deceive. 5 ^aBut 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

“Awake, O sword, against ^aMy Shepherd,

Against the Man ^bwho is My Companion,”

Says the Lord of hosts.

^c“Strike the Shepherd,

And the sheep will be scattered;

Then I will turn My hand against ^dthe little ones.

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

Says the Lord,

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

^bBut one-third shall be left in it:

I will bring the one-third ^athrough the fire,

Will ^brefine them as silver is refined,

And test them as gold is tested.

^cThey will call on My name,

And I will answer them.

^dI will say, ‘This is My people’;

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