New International Version NIV
1 In that time there shall be an open fountain for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem against sin and against uncleanness.
1
“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of the hosts, <em>that</em> I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no longer be remembered; and I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness to be cut off out of the land.
2
“On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
3 And it shall come to pass, <em>that</em> when anyone else shall 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 prophesies.
3
And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.
4 And it shall come to pass in that time, <em>that</em> the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he has prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
4
“On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive.
5 but he shall say, I <em>am</em> no prophet, I <em>am</em> a husbandman of the land; for I learned this from man from my youth.
5
Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth. ’
6 And <em>they</em> shall ask him, What <em>are</em> these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, <em>Those</em> with which I was wounded <em>in</em> the house of my friends.
6
If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body ?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
7 Awake, O sword, upon the pastor and upon the man <em>that is</em> my fellow, said the LORD of the hosts; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
7
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass <em>that</em> in all the land, said the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off in her <em>and</em> shall be lost; but the third shall be left therein.
8
In the whole land,” declares the LORD, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.
9 And I will put the third part into the fire and will refine them as silver is refined and will try them as gold is tried; He shall call on my name, and I will hear him; I will say, My people, and he shall say, The LORD <em>is</em> my God.
9
This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ ”
