Cleansing From Sin
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 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.
The Shepherd Struck, the
Sheep Scattered
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. |
