“I will bring the third part into the fire,and will refine them as silver is refined,and will test them like gold is tested.They will call on my name, and I will hear them.I will say, ‘It is my people;’and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”

7“Awake, sword, against my shepherd,and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies.“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;and I will turn my hand against the little ones. 8It shall happen that in all the land,” says Yahweh,“two parts in it will be cut off and die;but the third will be left in it. 9I will bring the third part into the fire,and will refine them as silver is refined,and will test them like gold is tested.They will call on my name, and I will hear them.I will say, ‘It is my people;’and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
