Dual Panel1On that day a fountain will be opened for the line of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to remove their sin and impurity.
2On that day, says the LORD of Hosts, I shall expunge the names of the idols from the land, and they shall be remembered no more; I shall also expel the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness from the land.
3Thereafter, if anyone continues to prophesy, his parents, his own father and mother, will say to him, “You are not to remain alive, for you have uttered lies in the LORD's name.” His own father and mother will run him through because he has prophesied.
4On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his prophetic vision, and he will not wear a robe of coarse hair in order to deceive.
5He will say, “I am not a prophet, I am a worker on the land, for the land has been my possession from my early days.”
6If someone asks, “What are these scars on your chest?” he will answer, “I got them in the house of my friends.”
7This is the word of the LORD of Hosts: Sword, awake against my shepherd, against him who works with me. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I shall turn my hand against the lambs.
8This also is the word of the LORD: It will happen throughout the land that two thirds of the people will be struck down and die, while one third of them will be left there.
9Then I shall pass this third through the fire; I shall refine them as silver is refined and assay them as gold is assayed. They will invoke me by my name, and I myself shall answer them; I shall say, “These are my people”; they will say, “The LORD is my God.”
