In Context

3And it shall come to pass, when any one shall yet prophesy, That his father and mother shall say to him, Even they that begat him, “Thou shalt not live; For thou hast spoken falsehood in the name of Jehovah.” And his father and mother that begat him shall pierce him through when he prophesieth.

5But each shall say, “I am no prophet; I am a man that tilleth the ground; For a man hath purchased me from my youth.”
