2 “In that day,” declares the LORD of hosts, “I will acut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the false bprophets and the cunclean spirit from the land.Ex 23:13; Hos 2:17Jer 23:14, 151 Kin 22:22; Ezek 36:25, 29 3 And if anyone still appears as a prophet and falsely aprophesies, then his father and his mother who gave birth to him will say to him, ‘You shall bnot live, for you have spoken clies in the name of the LORD’; and his dfather and his mother who gave birth to him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.Jer 23:34Deut 18:20; Ezek 14:9Jer 23:25Deut 13:6-11; Matt 10:37 4 And in that day the false prophets will each be aashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not wear a bhairy robe of true prophets in order to deceive,Jer 6:15; 8:9; Mic 3:72 Kin 1:8; Is 20:2; Matt 3:4 5 but he will deny his identity and say, ‘I am ano prophet. I work the ground, because a man sold me as a slave in my youth.’Amos 7:14 6 And one will say to him, ‘What are these 1wounds abetween your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those wounds I received in the house of my friends.’False prophets would sometimes cut themselves during emotional idolatrous rites, then deny that they had inflicted the wounds.2 Kin 9:24
