Jerusalem Refined and Tested

13 “In that day a ^(A)fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for ^(B)sin and for ^(C)impurity.

² “And it will be in that day,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “that I will ^(D)cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also cause the ^(E)prophets and the ^(F)unclean spirit to pass away from the land. ³ And it will be that if anyone still ^(G)prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall ^(H)not live, for you have spoken ^(I)falsely in the name of Yahweh’; and his ^(J)father and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him through when he prophesies. ⁴ And it will be in that day, that the prophets will each be ^(K)ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a ^(L)hairy mantle in order to deceive; ⁵ but he will say, ‘I am ^(M)not a prophet; I am a cultivator of the ground, for a man ^[a]sold me as a slave in my youth.’ ⁶ And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds struck here ^(N)between your ^[b]arms?’ Then he will say, ‘Those with which I was struck in the house of ^[c]my friends.’
