Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 13:4

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 .

By this means it will come to pass, such sharp reproofs, such impartial threats, such convincing arguments will have a good effect.

These Prophets will see their Errour, and be ashamed, and give over what they blush at, and is their shame.

Such Garments the true Prophets were wont to wear, and these cheats had used them for a cover to their jugling Hypocrisie; but when throughly convinced, none shall need pull, they will themselves cast off those Garments.

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. 'Tis 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.
