⁸ In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
    “two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
    yet one-third will be left in it.^(A)

⁹ This third I will put into the fire;^(A)
    I will refine them like silver^(B)
    and test them like gold.^(C)
They will call^(D) on my name^(E)
    and I will answer^(F) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’^(G)
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.^(H)’”
