Zechariah 13:9
New American Standard Bible
9 And I will bring the third part through the (A)fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will (B)call on My name,
And I will (C)answer them;
I will say, ‘They are (D)My people,’
And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

10 But He knows the [a]way I take;
When He has (A)put me to the test, I will come out as gold.
11 My foot has (B)held on to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not [b]failed the command of His lips;
I have treasured the (C)words of His mouth [c]more than my [d]necessary food.
