* "
On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness .
* "
And on that day ,
says the LORD of hosts ,
I will cut off the names of the idols from the land ,
so that they shall be remembered no more ;
and also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit .
*
And if any one again appears as a prophet ,
his father and mother who bore him will say to him , `
You shall not live ,
for you speak lies in the name of the LORD ';
and his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies .
*
On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies ;
he will not put on a hairy mantle in order to deceive ,
*
but he will say , `
I am no prophet ,
I am a tiller of the soil ;
for the land has been my possession since my youth .'
*
And if one asks him , `
What are these wounds on your back ?'
he will say , `
The wounds I received in the house of my friends .'"
