Zechariah 13:7-9
American Standard Version
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 9 And I will bring the third part into 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, Jehovah is my God.

Lexham English Bible
The Sword Shall Strike the Shepherd
7 “O sword, awake against my shepherd,
against the man who is my associate,”
declares[a] Yahweh of hosts.
“Strike the shepherd,
so that the sheep[b] may be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the small ones.
8 And then[c] in all the land,” declares[d] Yahweh,
“two thirds[e] will be cut off and perish,
and one third will be left alive[f] in it.
9 And I will bring the remaining third into the fire,
and I will refine them like one refines silver,
and I will test them like one tests gold.
They[g] will call my name,
and I will answer them.[h]
I will say, ‘They[i] are my people,’
and they[j] will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
