Zechariah 13:1

“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the people of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

2 And on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will erase the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will also remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3 And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not remain alive, because you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD.’ When he prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will pierce him through.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
