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