Zechariah 13:1-3
Common English Bible
13 On that day, a fountain will open
to cleanse[a] the sin and impurity of David’s house and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2 On that day, says the Lord of heavenly forces,
I will eliminate the names of the idols from the land;
they will no longer be remembered.
Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the sinful spirit from the land.
3 If anyone again prophesies,
then that person’s birth father and mother will say,
“You won’t live, for you have told a lie in the name of the Lord.”
That person’s own birth father and mother will stab him when he prophesies.
