Zechariah 13 📜 📕 ↷
An End to Idolatry
1 IN that day shall be a fountain lying open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: for the ablution of the sinner, and of the menstruous woman.📜💬📚
2 And it shall be in that day, saith the Lord of hosts: I will destroy the names of idols out of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more: and the false Prophets, and the unclean spirit I will take away out of the earth.📜💬📚
3 And it shall be when any man shall prophesy any more, his father & his mother that begot him, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live: because thou hast spoken a lie in the name of our Lord. And his father, & his mother, his parents shall strike him, when he shall prophesy.📜💬📚
4 And it shall be: in that day the Prophets shall be confounded every one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be covered with cloak of sackcloth, to lie:📜💬📚
5 But he shall say: I am no Prophet, an husbandman am I: because Adam my example from my youth.📜💬📚
6 And it shall be said to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these was I wounded in the house of them, that loved me.📜💬📚
Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7 Sword be thou raised up upon my Pastor, and upon the man that cleaveth to me, saith the Lord of hosts: Strike the Pastor, and the sheep shall be dispersed: and I will turn my hand to the little ones.📜💬📚
8 And there shall be in all the earth, saith our Lord: two parts in it shall be destroyed, and shall fail: and the third part shall be left in it.📜💬📚
9 And I will bring the third part through fire, and will burn them as silver is burnt: and I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call my name, and I will hear them. I will say: Thou art my people; and they shall say: our Lord my God.📜💬📚
