| Chapter 13 |
1 |
In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity. |
2 |
And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Yehovah of Hosts, I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered any more, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from the land. |
3 |
And it hath been, when one prophesieth again, That said unto him have his father and his mother, his parents, `Thou dost not live, For falsehood thou hast spoken in the name of Yehovah,` And pierced him through have his father and his mother, his parents, in his prophesying. |
4 |
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Ashamed are the prophets, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they put not on a hairy robe to deceive. |
5 |
And one hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground is my possession from my youth.` |
6 |
And one hath said unto him, `What are these wounds in thy hands?` And he hath said, `Because I was smitten at home by my lovers.` |
7 |
Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero -- My fellow, An affirmation of Yehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones. |
8 |
And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Yehovah, Two parts in it are cut off -- they expire, And the third is left in it. |
9 |
And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it is,` And it saith, `Yehovah is my God!` |
