Zechariah 13:8-9
New King James Version
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That (A)two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
(B)But one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third (C)through the fire,
Will (D)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
(E)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
(F)I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
Zechariah 13:8-9
Lexham English Bible
8 And then[a] in all the land,” declares[b] Yahweh,
“two thirds[c] will be cut off and perish,
and one third will be left alive[d] 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[e] will call my name,
and I will answer them.[f]
I will say, ‘They[g] are my people,’
and they[h] will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
