KJ3 Literal Translation
Zechariah 13
The fountain to purge for impurity and sin, from idolatry, and false prophecy. The death of Christ, and the trial of a third part.
1In that day a fountain shall be opened to the house of David and to those living in Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.
2And 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.
3And 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.
4And it shall be in that day, the prophets shall be ashamed, each man of his vision when he prophesies, and they shall not wear a hairy garment to deceive.
5But he shall say, I am not a prophet; I am a man, a tiller of the ground, for a man caused me to possess it from my youth.
6And one shall say to Him, What are these wounds between Your hands? And He shall answer, Those with which I was struck in the house of those who love Me.
7O sword, awake against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My Associate, a statement of Jehovah of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.
8And it shall be in all the land, a statement of Jehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off and perish, but the third shall be left in it.
9And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will test them as gold is tested. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, It is My people, and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
