Zechariah 13:7-9
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.’”

Zechariah 13:7-9
International Standard Version
7 “Arise, sword, against my shepherd,
against the mighty one who is related to me,”
declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
“Strike the shepherd,
the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn against the insignificant ones.
8 It will come about in all of the land,”
declares the Lord,
“that two thirds of the people living there will die,
but a third will survive who live there.
9 And I will bring that surviving third through,
testing them as if through fire,
purifying them like silver,
assaying them like gold.
They will call on my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘This is my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
