The Shepherd Is Killed

“Sword, hit the shepherd.
    Attack the man who is my friend,”
    says the Lord All-Powerful.
“Kill the shepherd,
    and the sheep will scatter,
    and I will punish the little ones.”
The Lord says, “Two-thirds of the people
    through all the land will die. They will be gone,
    and one-third will be left.
The third that is left I will test with fire,
    purifying them like silver,
    testing them like gold.
Then they will call on me,
    and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘You are my people,’
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”
