Zacharie 13:3

3 Si quelqu'un prophétise encore, Son père et sa mère, qui l'ont engendré, lui diront: Tu ne vivras pas, car tu dis des mensonges au nom de l'Eternel! Et son père et sa mère, qui l'ont engendré, le transperceront Quand il prophétisera.

Zacharie 13:3 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 13:3

And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet
prophesy
Or attempt to prophesy, or propagate their idolatrous religion and principles after this time, when they shall be abundantly detected and exposed: then his father and his mother that begat him;
of whom he is born, and who, as his parents, must be supposed to have the most tender regard unto him, even to these the imposture will be so flagrant, that they will not encourage him, but, on the contrary, shall say unto him, Thou shall not live;
but die, according to the law against the false prophet in ( Deuteronomy 18:20 ) : for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord;
which is the very character of the followers of the man of sin, who speak lies in hypocrisy, pretending that they are of God, and carrying a show of truth; religion, and holiness, ( 1 Timothy 4:1 1 Timothy 4:2 ) : and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him
through when he prophesieth;
so great will be their love to God, and to his truth, that, notwithstanding the nearness of blood, their hands will be upon him first, and either beat him, or put him to death; a son, according to the law, not being to be spared in such a case, ( Deuteronomy 13:6-10 ) .

Zacharie 13:3 In-Context

1 En ce jour-là, une source sera ouverte Pour la maison de David et les habitants de Jérusalem, Pour le péché et pour l'impureté.
2 En ce jour-là, dit l'Eternel des armées, J'exterminerai du pays les noms des idoles, Afin qu'on ne s'en souvienne plus; J'ôterai aussi du pays les prophètes et l'esprit d'impureté.
3 Si quelqu'un prophétise encore, Son père et sa mère, qui l'ont engendré, lui diront: Tu ne vivras pas, car tu dis des mensonges au nom de l'Eternel! Et son père et sa mère, qui l'ont engendré, le transperceront Quand il prophétisera.
4 En ce jour-là, les prophètes rougiront de leurs visions Quand ils prophétiseront, Et ils ne revêtiront plus un manteau de poil pour mentir.
5 Chacun d'eux dira: Je ne suis pas prophète, Je suis laboureur, Car on m'a acheté dès ma jeunesse.
