⁹ On that day I intend to destroy all the nations who come against Jerusalem,
¹⁰     but I will pour out a spirit of grace and mercy on David’s house
        and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
They will look to me concerning the one whom they pierced;
        they will mourn over him like the mourning for an only child.
        They will mourn bitterly over him like the bitter mourning over the death of^[a] an oldest child.

¹¹ On that day, the mourning in Jerusalem
    will be as great as the mourning of Hadad-Rimmon in the Megiddo Valley.

13 On that day, a fountain will open
        to cleanse^[a] the sin and impurity of David’s house and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁷ Sword, arise against my shepherd,
        against the man responsible for^[a] my community, says the Lord of heavenly forces!
Strike the shepherd in order to scatter the flock!
        I will turn my hand against the little ones.
⁸ Throughout all the land, says the Lord,
        two-thirds will be cut off and die;
            but one-third will be left in it.
⁹ I will put the third part into the fire.
        I will refine them like one refines silver;
            I will test them like one tests gold.
They will call on my name, and I will respond to them.
        I will say, “They are my people.”
            And they will say, “The Lord is our God.”
