7 “Awake, O sword, against kMy Shepherd,
Against the Man lwho is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
m“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against nthe little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That otwo-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
pBut one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third qthrough the fire,
Will rrefine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
sThey will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
tI will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
