Zechariah 13:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Sword, awake against My shepherd,
against the man who is My associate—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.
Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;^(A)
I will also turn My hand against the little ones.
⁸ In the whole land—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
two-thirds^[a] will be cut off and die,
but a third will be left in it.
⁹ I will put this third through the fire;
I will refine them as silver is refined
and test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
and I will answer them.
I will say: They are My people,
and they will say: Yahweh is our God.”
