Zechariah 13 New King James Version (NKJV)

Idolatry Cut Off

13 “In that ^(A)day ^(B)a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for ^(C)uncleanness.

²“It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will ^(D)cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause ^(E)the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. ³It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, ‘You shall ^(F)not live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who begot him ^(G)shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

⁴“And it shall be in that day that ^(H)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear ^(I)a robe of coarse hair to deceive. ⁵^(J)But he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’ ⁶And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your ^[a]arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Savior

⁷“Awake, O sword, against ^(K)My Shepherd,
Against the Man ^(L)who is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
^(M)“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against ^(N)the little ones.
⁸And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That ^(O)two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
^(P)But one-third shall be left in it:
⁹I will bring the one-third ^(Q)through the fire,
Will ^(R)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
^(S)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
^(T)I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
