Zechariah 13:4 Summary

[This verse is saying that on a certain day, all the false prophets will be ashamed of the fake visions they had, and they won't be able to pretend to be real prophets anymore, as seen in Zechariah 13:2-3. They will be too ashamed to even wear the clothes that prophets normally wear. This is because God is going to cleanse the land from all the false and idolatrous influences, as seen in Zechariah 13:1. It's a reminder that God hates falsehood and deception, and He will ultimately bring all things to light, as seen in 1 Corinthians 4:5.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the hairy cloak in Zechariah 13:4?

The hairy cloak was a symbol of a prophet's office, and by not putting it on, the false prophet is ashamed to be identified as such, as seen in 2 Kings 1:8 where Elijah is recognized by his hairy cloak.

Why will the prophets be ashamed of their visions on that day?

The prophets will be ashamed because their visions were false and not from the Lord, as stated in Deuteronomy 18:20, where a prophet who speaks falsely in the name of the Lord will be put to death.

Is this verse talking about all prophets or just false prophets?

This verse is specifically talking about false prophets who prophesied falsely in the name of the Lord, as seen in the context of Zechariah 13:2-3, where the Lord says He will remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

How does this verse relate to the broader theme of Zechariah 13?

This verse is part of a larger section in Zechariah 13:1-6 that talks about the purification of the land from idolatry and false prophecy, and the ultimate cleansing of God's people, as seen in Zechariah 13:1, where the Lord promises to cleanse the land from sin and uncleanness.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I may be deceiving others or myself with false spiritual experiences or visions?
  2. How can I discern whether a prophecy or vision is truly from the Lord, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21?
  3. What are some areas in my life where I need to be purified from false or idolatrous influences, as seen in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18?
  4. How can I cultivate a heart of humility and honesty before the Lord, as seen in Psalm 51:10-12?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Zechariah 13:4

It shall come to pass; by this means it will come to pass, such sharp reproofs, such impartial threats, such convincing arguments, will have a good effect. The prophets shall be ashamed; these prophets will see their error, and be ashamed, and give over what they blush at, and is their shame. Neither shall they wear a rough garment: such garments the true prophets were wont to wear, and these cheats had used them for a cover to their juggling hypocrisy; but when thoroughly convinced, none shall need pull, they will themselves cast off those garments. To deceive; by first seeming to be more holy and strict than they are; and next, on such ill-grounded opinion of the holiness of their persons, draw them into their opinions, religion, and practice. It is an excellent work of the grace of God to recover deceivers, and to make them turn off the deceiver, and deal plainly and faithfully with others and themselves.

Trapp's Commentary on Zechariah 13:4

Zechariah 13:4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:Ver. 4. The prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision] Of their Midianitish dreams, which they had first dreamed, and then told it for gospel to their fond neighbours. They shall be so clearly convinced, that they shall blush and bleed to think how they have been besotted, how many souls they have murdered, how often they have even straddled over hell’ s mouth, and yet have been preserved, 2 Thessalonians 2:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:12; This makes them shame and shent themselves in the presence of God and his people, saying, "O my God, I am ashamed, and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guilt is grown up to the heavens," Ezra 9:6. This was fulfilled in those scribes and Pharisees that afterwards became believers, and said, with Saint Paul, "Beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh," Philippians 3:2-3. Luther revolted from the Popish religion which he had held and maintained, taking it for an honour to be called apostate by them; that is, as he interpreted it, one that had fallen from the devil, Qui fidem diabolo datam non servavit. Bugenhagius, when he first read Luther’ s book de Captivitate Babylonica, pronounced it to be the most pestilent piece that ever was published; but afterwards, when he had better considered, he grew ashamed of that rash censure, and protested that Luther only was in the right, and all that held not the same that he did were utterly deceived. Latimer was of the like mind after that he had once heard Bilney’ s confession. Vergerius, after he had read Luther’ s books with purpose to confute them, Denckius and Hetserus, two great Anabaptists in Germany, retracted their former false doctrines, and repented of their licentious and abominable practices (Scultet. Annul.). The former of them, being converted by Oecolampadius, grew ashamed of his pretended visions, and died piously at Basle. The latter was beheaded at Constance for his multiplied adulteries: which first he sought to defend by Scripture, but afterwards died very penitently, confessing his former filthinesses, giving glory to God, and taking shame to himself. These two were learned men, well skilled in the Hebrew; and had joined their forces in translating the prophets into the Dutch tongue. But oh how few such as these and of that sort of people shall a man meet with today! Copp, indeed, that arch-ranter, Venereus ille furcifer, et Cleri dehonestamentum, is said to have newly set forth his recantation, which I have not yet seen, and therefore cannot tell what to say to it.

Ellicott's Commentary on Zechariah 13:4

(4) Now he reverts to those who are really false prophets.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Zechariah 13:4

Verse 4. Neither shall they wear a rough garment] A rough garment made of goats' hair, coarse wool, or the coarse pile of the camel, was the ordinary garb of God's prophets. And the false prophets wore the same; for they pretended to the same gifts, and the same spirit, and therefore they wore the same kind of garments. John Baptist had a garment of this kind.

Cambridge Bible on Zechariah 13:4

4. shall be ashamed] Pusey compares Acts 19:18-20. hath prophesied] Rather, prophesieth, as R. V. a rough garment] Lit. a cloak of hair: a hairy mantle, R. V. The word for cloak, or cape, is that used for the mantle of Elijah (1 Kings 19:13; 1 Kings 19:19; 2 Kings 2:13-14), “the cape or wrapper, which, with the exception of a strip of skin or leather round his loins, formed, as we have every reason to believe, his sole garment.” Bibl. Dict., Art. Mantle. This cloak or cape was either woven of camels’ hair or was perhaps a sheep’s skin (μηλωτής LXX. Comp. 2 Kings 1:8; Genesis 25:25; Matthew 3:4). It would seem from this passage that it had been worn by succeeding prophets in imitation of Elijah, and so had come to be regarded as the badge of a prophet.
