Zechariah 13:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And when any shall yet [a]prophesy, his father and his mother that begat him, shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live: for thou speakest lies in the Name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him, [b]shall thrust him through, when he prophesieth.
4 And in that day shall the prophets [c]be ashamed everyone of his vision, when he hath prophesied: neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive.
5 But he shall say, I am no [d]Prophet: I am an husbandman: for man taught me to be an herdsman from my youth up.
