²³ Then ^(A)I will sow her for Myself in the earth,
^(B)And I will have mercy on her who had ^[a]not obtained mercy;
Then ^(C)I will say to those who were ^[b]not My people,
‘You are ^[c]My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”

¹² I will leave in your midst
^(A)A meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.

⁹ I will bring the one-third ^(A)through the fire,
Will ^(B)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
^(C)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
^(D)I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
