Oracles Concerning the End of False Prophecy.*1On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David* and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to purify from sin and uncleanness.a

2On that day—oracle of theLord of hosts—I will destroy the names of the idols from the land, so that they will be mentioned no more; I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness from the land.3If any still prophesy, their father and mother who bore them will say, “You will not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of theLord.” Their father and mother who bore them will thrust them through when they prophesy.b

4On that day, all prophets will be ashamed of the visions they prophesy; and they will not put on the hairy mantle* to mislead,c5but each will say, “I am not a prophet. I am a tiller of the soil, for I have owned land since my youth.”d6And if anyone asks, “What are these wounds on your chest?”* each will answer, “I received these wounds in the house of my friends.”e
