Zechariah 13:2-6 - Idolatry Cut Off

2 "At that time," declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, "I will eliminate the names of the idols from the land, and they will not be remembered anymore. I will also force both prophet and demon to leave the land. 3 It will also come about that if any man would dare to prophesy, then his father and his mother who bore him will respond to him, "You will not live, because you are speaking lies in the name of the LORD.' Then his father and mother who bore him will stab him for prophesying. 4 Furthermore, it will come about at that time that every prophet will become ashamed of his vision as he prophesies. They will wear no rough garments intended to deceive others." 5 "He will say, "I am no mere prophet. A servant of mankind am I, because a man dedicated to this have I been from my youth.' 6 "Someone will say to him, "What are these injuries to your hands?' "He will reply, ""what I received at my friend's house.'
