They will callr on my names

and I will answert them;

I will say, ‘They are my people,’u

and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.v’ ”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.’ ”

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

and test them as gold is tested.

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 our God.’ ”

NLTNew Living Translation

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.’ ”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.’ ”

KJV 1900King James Version

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord,

Two parts therein shall be cut off and die;

But the third shall be left therein.

And I will bring the third part through 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, The Lord is my God.
