CHAP. XIII.

1 Of the fountaine of grace. 2 Of the cleane riddance of idolatrie. 3 The zeale of the godlie against false pro∣phet.

1 IN that day therea shal be a foūtaine ope ned to the house of Dauid, and to the in∣habitants of Ierusalém, for sinne and for vnclennes.

2 And in that day, saith the Lord of hostes, I wil cut of theb names of the idoles out of the land: and they shal nomore be remē bred: and I wil cause thec prophetes, and the vncleane spirit to departe out of the land.

3 And when anie shal yetd prophecie, his fa∣ther and his mother that be gate him, shal say vnto him, Thou shall not liue: for thou speakest lies in the Name of the Lord and his father and his mother that be gate hime shal thrust him through, when he prophe cieth.

4 And in that daye shal the Prophetesf be ashamed euerie one of his vision, when he hathe prophecied nether shal thei weare a rough garment to deceiue,

5 But he shal say, I am 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Prophet: I am an housband man for man taught me to be an herdman from my youth vp.

6 And one shal say vnto him, What are theseh woundes in thine hands? Then he shal an swere. Thus was I wounded in the house of my friends.

7 ¶ Arise, ô sworde, vpon myi shepherd and vpon the man (that is) my fellow, saith the Lord of hostes: smite the shepherd, and the shepe shalbe scattred: and I wil turne mine hand vpon the litle ones.

8 And in all the land, saith the Lord,k two partes therein shalbe cut of (and) dye but the third shalbe left therein.

9 And I wil bring that third parte thorow the fyre, and wil fine them as the siluer is fi∣ned, and wil trye thē as golde is tryed: they shal call on my Name, and I wil heare them, I wil say, It is my people, and they shal say, The Lord (is) my God.
