Zechariah 13 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Zec 13:1In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for [fn]separation.
Zec 13:2And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer any remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.
Zec 13:3And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, Thou shalt not live; for thou hast spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.
Zec 13:4And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.
Zec 13:5And one shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up thus from my youth.
Zec 13:6And I will say to him, What are these wounds between thine hands? and he shall say, Those with which I was wounded in [fn]my beloved house.
Zec 13:7Awake, O sword, against my [fn]shepherds, and against the man who is my citizen, saith the Lord Almighty: [fn] smite the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.
Zec 13:8And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.
Zec 13:9And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
