1 I n that day there is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem sin and uncleanness.

2 A nd it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah 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.

And in that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit.

3 A nd 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 Jehovah,' And pierced him through have his father and his mother, his parents, in his prophesying.

And if anyone again appears as a prophet, then his father and his mother who bore him shall say to him, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother who bore him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

4 A nd 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.

And in that day the prophets shall each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, nor will he wear a hairy or rough garment to deceive,

5 A nd hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller of ground I am, For ground my possession from my youth.'

But he will say, I am no prophet. I am a tiller of the ground, for I have been made a bond servant from my youth.

6 A nd hath said unto him, `What these wounds in thy hands?' And he hath said, `Because I was smitten home by my lovers.'

And one shall say to him, What are these wounds on your breast or between your hands? Then he will answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7 S word, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero -- My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

Awake, O sword, against My shepherd and against the man who is My associate, says the Lord of hosts; smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn back My hand and stretch it out again upon the little ones.

8 A nd it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off -- they expire, And the third is left in it.

And in all the land, says the Lord, two-thirds shall be cut off and perish, but one-third shall be left alive.

9 A nd 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,' And it saith, `Jehovah my God!'

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined and will test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will hear and answer them. I will say, It is My people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
