Zechariah 13 (WEBP)

[1] “In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
[2] It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
[3] It will happen that when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.
[4] It will happen in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they won’t wear a hairy mantle to deceive,
[5] but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.’
[6] One will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
[7] “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
[8] It shall happen that in all the land,” says Yahweh, “two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.
[9] I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”

[3] And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, () then his father and his mother that begat () him shall say () unto him, Thou shalt not live; () for thou speakest () lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat () him shall thrust () him through when he prophesieth. ()
[4] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed () every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; () neither shall they wear () a rough garment to deceive: ()

Zechariah 13 (BYZ)

[1] εν τη ημερα εκεινη εσται πας τοπος διανοιγομενος εν τω οικω δαυιδ
[2] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγει κυριος εξολεθρευσω τα ονοματα των ειδωλων απο της γης και ουκετι εσται αυτων μνεια και τους ψευδοπροφητας και το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον εξαρω απο της γης
[3] και εσται εαν προφητευση ανθρωπος ετι και ερει προς αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου οι γεννησαντες αυτον ου ζηση οτι ψευδη ελαλησας επ ονοματι κυριου και συμποδιουσιν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου οι γεννησαντες αυτον εν τω προφητευειν αυτον
[4] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη καταισχυνθησονται οι προφηται εκαστος εκ της ορασεως αυτου εν τω προφητευειν αυτον και ενδυσονται δερριν τριχινην ανθ ων εψευσαντο
[5] και ερει ουκ ειμι προφητης εγω διοτι ανθρωπος εργαζομενος την γην εγω ειμι οτι ανθρωπος εγεννησεν με εκ νεοτητος μου
[6] και ερω προς αυτον τι αι πληγαι αυται ανα μεσον των χειρων σου και ερει ας επληγην εν τω οικω τω αγαπητω μου
[7] ρομφαια εξεγερθητι επι τους ποιμενας μου και επ ανδρα πολιτην μου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ παταξατε τους ποιμενας και εκσπασατε τα προβατα και επαξω την χειρα μου επι τους ποιμενας
[8] και εσται εν παση τη γη λεγει κυριος τα δυο μερη εξολεθρευθησεται και εκλειψει το δε τριτον υπολειφθησεται εν αυτη
[9] και διαξω το τριτον δια πυρος και πυρωσω αυτους ως πυρουται το αργυριον και δοκιμω αυτους ως δοκιμαζεται το χρυσιον αυτος επικαλεσεται το ονομα μου καγω επακουσομαι αυτω και ερω λαος μου ουτος εστιν και αυτος ερει κυριος ο θεος μου
