⁵³ They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.

⁶ For the son puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family.

² And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.

³ And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.

⁴ And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:

⁵ But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.

⁶ And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

²¹ And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

²² And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

¹⁰ And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.
