1 [“] On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David, and for those dwelling in Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity. VP

2 And it will come to pass on that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will not be remembered anymore; and also the prophets and the spirit of impurity I will make pass from the land. VP

3 And it will come to pass, if a man prophesies still, that his father and mother [who] bore him will say to him, ‘You will not live, for you have spoken deception in the name of YHWH.’ And his father and mother [who] bore him will pierce him through at his prophesying. VP

4 And it will come to pass in that day, [that] will feel shame the prophets, each man from his vision, in his prophesying; and they will not clothe themselves [with] a cloak of hair in order to deceive. VP

5 And he will say, ‘I [am] not a prophet; I [am] a farmer working the land, for a man acquired me in my youth. VP

6 And [if] it is said to him, ‘What [are] these wounds between your hands?’ He will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ VP

7 O Sword, awake against My shepherd, and against a man, My companion, a declaration of YHWH of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones! VP

8 And it will come to pass, in all the land, a declaration of YHWH, a measure that two in it will be cut off [and] die, and the third will remain in it. VP

9 And I will bring the third through the fire, and I will refine them like the refining of silver, and I will test them like the testing of gold. He will call on my name, and I will answer him. I will say, ‘It [is] My people,’ and he will say, ‘YHWH [is] My God.’” VP
