Zechariah 13:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
7 Awake, O Cherev (sword), against My Ro’eh (shepherd, i.e. Moshiach, see Isa 40:11; Ezek 34:23,24; 37:24), against the Gever (man) that is My Amit (fellow, intimate companion, associate), saith Hashem Tzva’os; strike the Ro’eh (shepherd), and the Tzon (sheep, flock) shall be scattered; and I will turn Mine hand upon the tzo’arim (little ones; see Zech 11:7; see Mt 26:31,56)
8 And it shall come to pass, that in kol ha’aretz, saith Hashem, two-thirds therein shall be cut off and die; but one-third shall remain therein.
9 And I will bring the onethird through the eish, and will refine them as kesef is refined, and will test them as zahav is tested; they shall call biShmi (on My Name), and I will hear them; I will say, This is My people; and they shall say, Hashem is Elohai.

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.’ ”

7 “Awake, O (A)sword, against My (B)Shepherd,
And against the man, My (C)Associate,”

“(D)Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;
And I will (E)turn My hand [a]against the little ones.
8 “It will come about in all the land,”
Declares the Lord,
“That (F)two parts in it will be cut off and perish;
But the third will be left in it.

Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will (H)call on My name,
And I will (I)answer them;

And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
