Zechariah

 1 In that day there shall be a ^afountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

 2 ¶And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the ^aidols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

 3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ^aashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a ^brough garment to deceive:

 5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these ^awounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was ^bwounded in the house of my friends.

 7 ¶Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man ^athat is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the ^bshepherd, and the ^csheep shall be ^dscattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be ^aleft therein.

 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will ^arefine them as silver is refined, and will ^btry them as gold is ^ctried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my ^dpeople: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
