Zechariah 13:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 If someone asks him, ‘What are these wounds(A) on your chest?’[a]—then he will answer, ‘I received the wounds in the house of my friends.’
7 Sword, awake against my shepherd,
against the man who is my associate—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;(B)
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
two-thirds[b] will be cut off and die,
but a third will be left in it.
Zechariah 13:6-8
New International Version
6 If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body[a]?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7 “Awake, sword,(A) against my shepherd,(B)
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,(C)
and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.(D)
