Exegesis
Yevoshu {יֵבֹ֧שׁוּ | yēvošû} ‘they will be ashamed’ expresses the forthcoming shame linked to mechezyono {מֵחֶזְיֹנ֖וֹ | mēḥezyōnô} ‘from his vision’, while behinnaveoto {בְּהִנָּֽבְאֹת֑וֹ | bəhin-nāvēʼōtô} ‘in his prophesying’ specifies the prophetic act.
In context — Zechariah 13:4
And it shall come to pass on that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of their vision when they prophesy, and they will not wear a cloak of hair for deception.
