A Fountain Opened

Open this scene in the reader →

1On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.

2And it shall happen in that day, declares Yahweh of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall be remembered no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit.

3And it will happen that if a man still prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, because you have spoken lies in the name of Yahweh’; and his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through when he prophesies.

4And on that day the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive.

5And he will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I am a man who works the ground, for the land has been my possession from my youth.’

6And if one says to him, “What are these wounds between your hands?” he will say, “Those with which I was wounded in the house of those who love me.”
