Zechariah 13:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “Awake, O (A)sword, against My (B)Shepherd
And against the man, My (C)Associate,”
Declares Yahweh of hosts.
“(D)Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;
And I will (E)turn My hand [a]against the little ones.
8 And it will be in all the land,”
Declares Yahweh,
“That (F)two parts in it will be cut off and breathe their last;
But the third will be left in it.
9 And I will bring the third part through the (G)fire
And refine them as silver is refined
And test them as gold is tested.
[b]They will (H)call on My name,
And I will (I)answer them;
I will say, ‘They are (J)My people,’
And they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”

New International Version
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7 “Awake, sword,(A) against my shepherd,(B)
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,(C)
and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.(D)
9 This third I will put into the fire;(E)
I will refine them like silver(F)
and test them like gold.(G)
They will call(H) on my name(I)
and I will answer(J) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’(K)
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.(L)’”
