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 יהוה 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 יהוה: 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 יהוה 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 יהוה, 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, יהוה is my Elohim.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is opened "for sin and for uncleanness" in Zechariah 13?
"A fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem" (v1), alongside a promise to cut off idols and false prophets from the land (v2).
What does the exchange in verses 6-7 describe?
A man is asked about wounds "in thine hands," answering he was wounded "in the house of my friends" (v6), just before the LORD calls for a sword to "smite the shepherd" and scatter the sheep (v7).
What proportion of the people survives the refining in this chapter?
"Two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left," and that remaining third is refined "as silver is refined" until they call on God's name (v8-9).
