Zechariah 13:5 in Context — Zechariah 13

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.

6 Y le preguntarán: ¿Qué heridas son éstas en tus manos? Y él responderá: Con ellas fuí herido en casa de mis amigos.

7 Levántate, oh espada, sobre el pastor, y sobre el hombre compañero mío, dice Jehová de los ejércitos. Hiere al pastor, y se derramarán las ovejas: mas tornaré mi mano sobre los chiquitos.
