New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
3And if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the Lord’; and his father and mother who gave birth to him shall pierce him through when he prophesies. 4Also it will come about on that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a hairy robe in order to deceive; 5but he will say, ‘I am not a prophet; I am a cultivator of the ground, because a man sold me as a slave in my youth.’ 6And someone will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will say, ‘ Those with which I was wounded at the house of my friends.’
7'Awake, sword, against My Shepherd, And against the Man, My Associate,' Declares the Lord of armies. 'Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones.
8And it will come about in all the land,' Declares the Lord, 'That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it.
King James Version
4And 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:
5But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
