Zechariah 13

On that day, a fountain will be opened for the house of David and Jerusalem's inhabitants to cleanse sin and impurity; YHWH will eliminate idols, false prophets, and unclean spirits, with even parents executing lying prophets[1][2][3]. YHWH commands the sword to strike the shepherd—His close companion—scattering the sheep, followed by refining a remnant: two-thirds cut off, one-third purified through fire, calling on YHWH's name as His people[1][2][3].
