“In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of Dawud and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
2“It will come to pass in that day,” says YAHWEH1 All-Powerful, “that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land. 3It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in the name of YAHWEH;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
4“It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive: 5but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for I have been made a slave from my youth.’ 6One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
7“Awake, sword, against my shepherd,
And against the man who is close to me,” says YAHWEH All-Powerful.
“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;2
And I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8It shall happen that in all the land,” says YAHWEH,
“Two parts in it will be cut off and die;
But the third will be left in it.
9I will bring the third part into the fire,
And will refine them as silver is refined,
And will test them like gold is tested.
They will call on my name, and I will hear them.
I will say, ‘It is my people;’
And they will say, ‘YAHWEH is my God3.'”
- 13:2 YAHWEH, the name God revealed to Prophet Musa in the Taurat, Exodus 3:15 – God said moreover to Musa, “You shall tell Bani-Israel this, ‘YAHWEH, the God of your fathers, the God of Ibrahim, the God of Ishaq, and the God of Yaqub, has sent me to you.’ This is my Name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered to all generations.” ↩︎
- 13:7 Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, Quoted by Prophet ‘ISA Ibn Maryam in the Injil, Matthew 26:31 on the night he predicted that his followers would forsake him. As it says: Then ‘ISA said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'”
Also quoted in Mark 14:27: ‘ISA said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'” ↩︎ - 13:9 God, English translation of elohim.
