Zechariah 13

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 13 of 14

1 In that day a fountain shall be opened to the house of David and to those living in Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.

2 And it shall be in that day, a statement of Jehovah of Hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered again. And I also will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

3 And it shall be when any shall prophesy again, and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall say to him then, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of Jehovah. And his father and his mother who gave him birth shall pierce him when he prophesies.
