Zechariah 13:3-5
New Living Translation
3 If anyone continues to prophesy, his own father and mother will tell him, ‘You must die, for you have prophesied lies in the name of the Lord.’ And as he prophesies, his own father and mother will stab him.
4 “On that day people will be ashamed to claim the prophetic gift. No one will pretend to be a prophet by wearing prophet’s clothes. 5 He will say, ‘I’m no prophet; I’m a farmer. I began working for a farmer as a boy.’

Zechariah 13:3-5
New International Version
3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies(A) in the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.(B)
4 “On that day every prophet will be ashamed(C) of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment(D) of hair(E) in order to deceive.(F) 5 Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.[a]’(G)
