Striking the Shepherd, Scattering the Sheep

“Awake, O sword, against My shepherd
    and the man of My association,”
    says the Lord of Hosts.
Strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep will scatter.
    I will turn My hand against the small ones.
And it will happen in all the land, says the Lord,
    that two-thirds will be cut off and die,
    and one-third will be left in the land.
And I will bring this one-third left into the fire,
    and will refine them as the refinement of silver,
    and will test them as the testing of gold.
They will call on My name,
    and I will answer them.
I will say, “They are My people”;
    and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”

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. 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. 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.
