Zechariah 13:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ If a person continues to prophesy, his own father and mother, the ones who gave birth to him, will tell him, ‘You have told lies ·using [in] the Lord’s name, so you must die.’ When he prophesies, his own father and mother who gave birth to him will ·stab [pierce] him.

⁴ “·At that time [^LOn that day] the prophets will be ashamed of their visions and prophecies. They won’t wear the prophet’s clothes made of hair [^Clike Elijah (1 Kin. 19:13) and Elisha (1 Kin. 19:19); cf. John the Baptist (Matt. 3:4)] to ·trick [deceive] people. ⁵ Each of them will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer ·and have been a farmer since I was young [^Lfor a man sold me in my youth; ^Cas an indentured servant to work the land].’
