ZECHARIAH
[XIII
- All the families that remain,
- Every family apart, and their wives apart.
- In that day there shall be a fountain opened
- To the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
- For sin and for uncleanness.
- 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:
- But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman;
- For man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
