Zechariah 13:2

"“In that day there will be a fountain opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of a future time when a cleansing fountain will be provided for both the royal lineage of King David and the people of Jerusalem. It symbolizes God's initiative to forgive and purify His chosen ones, addressing their sins and moral uncleanness through a divine source of grace and redemption.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will cut off the names of the idols -This had been a fence against idolatry. To name evil is a temptation to evil. Wrong words are the parents of wrong acts. To speak of evil awakens curiosity or passion; curiosity is one of the strongest incentives to act. All public mention of terrible crimes (it has been observed) produces imitation of the specific form of crime. Hence, it was commanded, “make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth”Exodus 23:13.
