For those of Israel who have escaped.

New King James Version
The Shepherd Savior
7 “Awake, O sword, against (A)My Shepherd,
Against the Man (B)who is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
(C)“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against (D)the little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That (E)two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
(F)But one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third (G)through the fire,
Will (H)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
(I)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
(J)I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

He will purify the sons of Levi,
And [a]purge them as gold and silver,
That they may (B)offer to the Lord

Will be [b]pleasant to the Lord,
As in the days of old,
As in former years.
