Getting Rid of Idols and False Prophets

¹In the future there will be a fountain, where David's descendants and the people of Jerusalem can wash away their sin and guilt.

²The Lord All-Powerful says:

A Wounded Shepherd and Scattered Sheep

⁷The Lord All-Powerful said:[#Mt 26.31; Mk 14.27.]

My sword, wake up! Attack

my shepherd and friend.

Strike down the shepherd!

Scatter the little sheep,

and I will destroy them.

⁸Nowhere in the land

will more than a third of them

be left alive.

⁹Then I will purify them

and put them to the test,

just as gold and silver

are purified and tested.

They will pray in my name,

and I will answer them.

I will say, “You are my people,”

and they will reply,

“You, Lord , are our God!”
