Zechariah 13:6-8

New Century Version

⁷ “Sword, hit the shepherd.
    Attack the man who is my friend,”
    says the Lord All-Powerful.
“Kill the shepherd,
    and the sheep will scatter,
    and I will punish the little ones.”
⁸ The Lord says, “Two-thirds of the people
    through all the land will die. They will be gone,
    and one-third will be left.
