Idolatry Cut Off

1 “In that aday ba fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for cuncleanness.  
2 “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will acut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause bthe prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land.  
3 It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, ‘You shall anot live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who begot him bshall thrust him through when he prophesies.  
4 “And it shall be in that day that aevery prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear ba robe of coarse hair to deceive.  
5 aBut he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’  
6 And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your1 arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ 

The Shepherd Savior

7 “Awake, O sword, against aMy Shepherd,
Against the Man bwho is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
c“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against dthe little ones. 
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That atwo-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
bBut one–third shall be left in it:

Zechariah 13:1

In that day there shall be a fountain opened - This chapter is a continuation of the preceding, and should not have been separated from it.

A fountain - The source of mercy in Christ Jesus; perhaps referring to the death he should die, and the piercing of his side, when blood and water issued out.

To the house of David - To David' s family, and such like persons as it included. See the history of David and his sons, and then learn for whom Christ shed his blood.

Inhabitants of Jerusalem - Such like persons as the Jews were in every part of their history, and in their last times, when they clamoured for the blood of Christ, and pursued him unto death! Learn from this also for whom Christ died! These were the worst of the human race; and if he died for them, none need despair. They rejected, betrayed, crucified, slew, and blasphemed Christ, and afterwards persecuted his followers. For these he died! Yes: and he tasted death for Every Man.

For sin and for uncleanness - For the removal of the guilt of sin, and for the purification of the soul from the uncleanness or pollution of sin.
