7Awake, O sword, against pmy shepherd, and against qthe man that is rmy fellow,
Saith the Lord of hosts:
stSmite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered:
And I will turn mine hand upon uthe little ones.
8And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord,
vTwo parts therein shall be cut off and die;
But wthe third shall be left therein.
9And I will bring wthe third part through the fire,
And xwill yrefine them as silver is refined,
And xwill ztry them as gold is tried:
aThey shall call on my name, and bI will hear them:
I cwill say, It is my people:
cAnd they shall say, The Lord is my God.

against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
and one third shall be left alive.
And I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
They will call upon my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

Sword, awake against my shepherd,
against the man who is my associate—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
In the whole land—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
two-thirds will be cut off and die,
but a third will be left in it.
I will put this third through the fire;
I will refine them as silver is refined

“Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,
the man who is my partner,”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
“Strike down the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn against the lambs.
Two-thirds of the people in the land
will be cut off and die,” says the Lord.
“But one-third will be left in the land.
I will bring that group through the fire
and make them pure.
I will refine them like silver
and purify them like gold.
They will call on my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘These are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’ ”

“O sword, awake against my shepherd,
against the man who is my associate,”
declares Yahweh of hosts.
“Strike the shepherd,
so that the sheep may be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the small ones.
And then in all the land,” declares Yahweh,
“two thirds will be cut off and perish,
and one third will be left alive in it.
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 will call my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”
