The Prophecy
of Zacharias 13
In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house
of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: for the
washing of the sinner, and of the unclean woman.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord
of hosts, that I will destroy the names of idols out
of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more:
and I will take away the false prophets, and the unclean
spirit out of the earth.
And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy
any more, his father and his mother that brought him
into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live:
because thou best spoken a lie in the name of the Lord.
And his father, and his mother, his parents, shall thrust
him through, when he shall prophesy.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets
shall be confounded, every one by his own vision, when
he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a
garment of sackcloth, to deceive :
But he shall say: I am no prophet, I am a husbandman:
for Adam is my ex- ample from my youth.
And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in
the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these
I was wounded in the house of them that loved me.
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the
man that cleaveth to me, saith the Lord of hosts: strike
the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and
I will turn my hand to the little ones.
And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord,
two parts in it shall be scattered, and shall perish:
but the third part shall be left therein.
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and
will refine them as silver is refined: and I will try
them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and
I will hear them. I will say: Thou art my people: and
they shall say: The Lord is my God. |
