Zechariah 13:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 “Awake, (A)sword, against My (B)Shepherd,
And against the Man, My (C)Associate,”
Declares the Lord of armies.
“(D)Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered;
And I will (E)turn My hand [a]against the little ones.
8 And 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.
9 And I will bring the third part through the (G)fire,
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;
I will say, ‘They are (J)My people,’
And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

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.’ ”
