13:1
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
(13:2) "I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land." God plans to expel
the prophets and unclean spirits. Sounds like a good plan to me.
(13:3) "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." Someday prophets will be killed by their own parents by "thrusting him through when he prophesieth."
(13:4) "The prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision."
13:2
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I
will cut off the names of the idols 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.
13:3
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.
13:4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed
every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a
rough garment to deceive:
13:5
But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me
to keep cattle from my youth.
13:6
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he
shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
13:7
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my
fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be
scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
13:8
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 left therein.
13:9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as
silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my
name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say,
The LORD is my God.
