"A fountain will be opened to cleanse from sin... I will banish idols from the land... I will remove the false prophets with the spirit of impurity from the land... and if they still try to prophesy their own parents will stab them". Then comes a Messianic passage quoted by Jesus himself in Mark 14:27: "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered". Then the text goes on to say: "In the whole land two-thirds will be struck down and one-third left... and I will refine them in the fire like silver and test them like gold... they will call on my name and I will answer them... I will say they are my people and they will say the Lord is our God".
