1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD 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, that when any shall yet 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 prophesieth. 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: 5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, 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 will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

1 In die dag sal daar 'n geopende fontein wees vir die huis van Dawid en vir die inwoners van Jerusalem teen sonde en onreinheid.

2 En in die dag, spreek die HERE van die leërskare, sal Ek die name van die afgode uit die land uitroei, sodat aan hulle nie meer gedink sal word nie; en ook die profete en die onreine gees sal Ek uit die land laat wegtrek.

3 En as iemand nog wil profeteer, sal sy vader en sy moeder wat hom verwek het, vir hom sê: Jy mag nie langer lewe nie, want jy het leuens in die Naam van die HERE verkondig; en sy vader en sy moeder wat hom verwek het, sal hom deurboor as hy wil profeteer.

4 En in die dag sal elkeen van die profete, as hy profeteer, hom skaam oor sy gesig; en hulle sal die harige mantel nie aantrek om te lieg nie.

5 Maar hy sal sê: Ek is geen profeet nie, ek is 'n man wat die grond bewerk; want iemand het my van my jeug af as slaaf gekoop.

6 En as iemand vir hom sê: Watter wonde is daardie tussen jou hande? dan sal hy antwoord: So is ek geslaan in die huis van my vriende.

7 Ontwaak, o swaard, teen my herder, en teen die man wat my metgesel is! spreek die HERE van die leërskare. Slaan die herder, sodat die skape verstrooi word; en Ek sal my hand weer uitstrek oor die geringes.

8 En in die ganse land, spreek die HERE -- twee-derdes sal daarin uitgeroei word, sal sterwe, maar een-derde daarin oorbly.

9 Dan sal Ek die derde deel in die vuur bring en hulle smelt soos 'n mens silwer smelt en hulle toets soos 'n mens goud toets. Hulle sal my Naam aanroep, en Ek sal hulle verhoor. Ek sê: Dit is my volk! En hulle sal sê: Die HERE, my God!
