Chapter 13
001
"In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of Davina and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
002
It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
003
It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then her mother and her father who bore her will tell her, 'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of Yahweh;' and her mother and her father who bore her will stab her when she prophesies.
004
It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of her vision, when she prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:
005
but she will say, 'I am no prophetess, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondmaid from my youth.'
006
One will say to her, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' Then she will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'
007
"Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the woman who is close to me," says Yahweh of Armies. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
008
It shall happen that in all the land," says Yahweh, "two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
009
I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
