Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 13:3

3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesie , then his father and his mother that begat him , shall say unto him , Thou shalt not live : for thou speakest lies in the Name of the LORD : and his father, and his mother that begat him, shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

Thou oughtest to dye for this by the Law; the Father and Mother thus should admonish and shew the matter of Law and danger, but not judicially pass sentence▪ and determin what shall be done.

Or, wound, chastise with stripes that may leave their marks behind them, or rather shall sharply reprove him, and with cutting words terrifie him from the like practice: You read of words that are piercing words, Prov. 12.18. words that run through as a Sword, and the Chaldee Paraphrast on this of our Prophet allows the Father and Mother to deal sharply with their Son, they shall rebuke cuttingly; besides, if 'twere to be understood of killing, the Law directs to stone such a one, Deut. 13.10. not to run him through with Lance or Sword.
