[1]In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation. [1]In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for purification and for sprinkling.
[2]And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer any remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land. [2]And it shall come to pass in that day, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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.
[3]And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, Thou shalt not live; for thou has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying. [3]And it shall come to pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begot him shall say unto him: 'Thou shalt not live, for thou speakest lies in the name of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎'; and his father and his mother that begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
[4]And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied. [4]And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be brought to shame every one through his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive;
[5]And one shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up thus from my youth. [5]But he shall say: 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth.'
[6]And I will say to him, What are these wounds between thine hands? and he shall say, Those with which I was wounded in my beloved house. [6]And one shall say unto him: 'What are these wounds between thy hands?' Then he shall answer: 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'
[7]Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man who is my citizen, saith the Lord Almighty: smite the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones. [7]Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and against the man that is near unto Me, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ of hosts; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn My hand upon the little ones.
[8]And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein. [8]And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
[9]And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God. [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 answer them; I will say: 'It is My people', and they shall say: '‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is my God.'
