⁸ And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That ^(A)two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
^(B)But one-third shall be left in it:

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.’ ”
