Zechariah 13:3 in Context — Zechariah 13

1 EN aquel tiempo habrá manantial abierto para la casa de David y para los moradores de Jerusalem, para el pecado y la inmundicia.

2 Y será en aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, que talaré de la tierra los nombres de las imágenes, y nunca más vendrán en memoria: y también haré talar de la tierra los profetas, y espíritu de inmundicia.

3 Y será que cuando alguno más profetizare, diránle su padre y su madre que lo engendraron: No vivirás, porque has hablado mentira en el nombre de Jehová: y su padre y su madre que lo engendraron, le alancearán cuando profetizare.

4 Y será en aquel tiempo, que todos los profetas se avergonzarán de su visión cuando profetizaren; ni nunca más se vestirán de manto velloso para mentir.

5 Y dirá: No soy profeta; labrador soy de la tierra: porque [esto] aprendí del hombre desde mi juventud.
