LEB(i)
1 " 'On that day a well will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, ⌊to cleanse them from sin and from impurity⌋.*
2 ⌊And then⌋,* on that day,' ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh of hosts, 'I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I will banish from the land.
3 ⌊And then⌋,* if anyone prophesies again, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of Yahweh!" And his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through when he prophesies.
4 ⌊And then⌋* on that day, each of the prophets will be ashamed because of his vision when he was prophesying, and they will not put on a cloak of hair in order to deceive,
5 but he will say, "I am not a prophet; I am a tiller of the soil, for a man has acquired me since my youth."*
6 And someone* shall say to him, "What are these wounds ⌊between your arms⌋?"* and he will say, "Those I have received* in the house of the ones who love me." '"
7 "O sword, awake against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh of hosts. "Strike the shepherd, so that the sheep* may be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the small ones.
8 ⌊And then⌋* in all the land," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh, "⌊two thirds⌋* will be cut off and perish, and one third will be left alive* in it.
9 And I will bring the remaining third into the fire, and I will refine them like one refines silver, and I will test them like one tests gold. They* will call my name, and I will answer them.* I will say, 'They* are my people,' and they* will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
